The ability to be a positive influence on teens - helping them develop the essential life skills necessary to achieve independence, become involved in the community, and understand the importance of family - is an essential requirement of being a "Professional Parent." If you love being a parent and making a meaningful difference in the lives of adolescents, becoming a Professional Parent may be the right opportunity for you. The agency seeks committed couples to live in an agency-owned home with teenaged foster children. The agency pays a salary and benefits to one stay-at-home parent, while the other parent may work outside the home.
