I am looking for a houseparent job, preferably in the Southeast, and I do not drive or have a driver's license. Am I out of luck, or are there some places who would actually hire me?

I assume your married? If not becoming a HP may be tough. As for driving? Most places I know need House Parents to assist in taking kids to their appointments so you may be out of luck unless someone knows something I do not.

It would be most difficult to become a live in Houseparent and not be a driver. However, if you have a desire to work with children there are still many positions out there that don't require driving. A residential treatment center or shelter that does shift work is your best bet. They usually have several positions that are on campus only and don't require you taking a child to an appointment. There is also usually several support positions you may consider that don't require driving. In our facility, we have kitchen staff and housekeepers that do not drive. And I imagine that you could also be secretarial and not have to drive. There are many opportunities to work with hurting kids, keep looking!!

There is a select few that hire single people. Not many though. There is one in particular that will hire you with out a drivers lisence. It is in Texas. And they have advertised here before. It is in Denton,Texas. It is at CPCH. I would be glad to share more info. My husband & I use to be houseparent's there.
God Bless!
