Courtney Johnson |
We work with families in the Johnson County area with Special Needs children to assist them in finding quality people to work with their child in their home and in their community. Our mission is to match the family with a Helper that can work one-on-one with their child, meet their individual needs, and truly make a difference in their lives. The intern would be brought on as a Helper and would be working in the home with a special needs child. Most of our families are very involved in the special needs community and are well informed concerning events, meetings, and activities offered to families with special needs children. The interns would be more than welcome to participate in any and all of those. |
This site regularly places MNU interns in PAID positions, although placement and availability may vary. Please contact site for information or interviews. Applicant must be: *16 years of age or older *must have a car/insurance *Applicant must fill out application, waiver, and be interviewed. *We run several background checks on each employee, but those are at no cost to the helper unless they quit within 30 days of their start date. |
