About our special needs child care services
Caring for a child with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome or another disability is full of love, and it can also be exhausting. Our caregivers help at home so your child gets attentive, consistent support and your family gets time to rest, work or care for brothers and sisters.
We start by learning your child's routines, likes, sensory needs and ways of communicating. Then we follow your family's plan and the routines your child's teachers and therapists recommend, so care at home stays consistent with the rest of their day.
What special needs child care includes
- Help with dressing, bathing, toileting and eating
- Lifting, transfers and wheelchair help
- Following daily routines and visual schedules
- Calm support during sensory overload or meltdowns
- Play, reading, music and outings
- Supervision and safety at home
- Respite so parents can rest, work or run errands
- After-school, evening and weekend care
Signs your family may need special needs child care
- You haven't had a real break in weeks
- Your child needs more hands-on help than one parent can give
- Mornings, evenings or bath time are a daily struggle
- You need someone you trust with your child while you work
- Brothers and sisters need more of your time
How it works
- Free consultation. Call or book online. We learn about your loved one and what's happening at home.
- Care plan and match. We write a plan with days, hours and tasks, and match a caregiver who fits.
- Ongoing care. Care starts on your schedule and changes as needs change.
Care for children with special needs: common questions
Do you provide therapy, such as ABA, speech or physical therapy?
No. We provide non-medical care and support at home. We're glad to follow the routines and goals your child's therapists and teachers recommend.
Can we use Regional Center respite hours or other funding?
Call us to talk through your situation and the ways care can be paid for.
Will my child have the same caregiver each time?
We aim to match one consistent caregiver to your child, because familiar faces and routines matter so much.
