Interested but still not sure? Looking for training opportunities?

Families
Still unsure about respite care? Not sure if you feel comfortable?
Tips:
- After interviewing and having multiple conversations, have the potential caregiver come to work with your child for an hour or two. You can be there to train or coach along the way. This way you can see if it’s the right fit.
- Reach out to other parents and families for support
