Become a Respite Provider

Here are what some current respite providers had to say about their experience:

“…After I spend a day with the child in need and their parents come home from a day away, thanking me as if I just handed them a million dollars, you truly feel how appreciated you are. These people are amazing to do what they do everyday, and to be able to help and be a part of that is something I will carry with me in all my future experiences.”

“…It gives her a chance to kick back and be part of a different family where the rules are slightly different and it gives her a chance to experience my children as sort of younger sisters and relate with them. It is also rewarding for our family as hopefully it helps make my children more aware and understanding of the needs and special abilities of others.”

“…The young  girl who comes to us once a month has filled a need for me to have someone to "mother" now that our own family has flown the coop and have children of their own. She is delightful to have around, keeps me very busy and keeps me young. It is lovely to see my small granddaughters interacting with her and learning about differences in others…”
