Heartland Children & Youth Home (HCYH) seeks Christian, husband and wife couples as Respite House Parents who serve a critical role in shepherding and guiding the residents God brings to HYCH.

Respite House Parents provide the same care, supervision, and instruction as the House Parents according to the mission statement, goals, and core values of HCYH. Respite for the House Parents is five days a month, and the Respite House Parents will bring the residents into their homes for that time and assume full responsibility for residents, which includes persistent and active involvement in the resident’s physical, academic, physiological, and spiritual development, until the House Parents return. Respite House Parents must possess a heart to serve and help children. This position is also importantly concerned with communicating the nature of the Gospel to students and facilitating their spiritual growth toward a walking, vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ.
