Respite Care

What is Respite Care?

Respite is a short-term break for the parents or caregivers of a child with emotional, behavioral or mental health challenges.

You can relax knowing your child/children are in capable hands while you go shopping, have lunch with friends, or stay home for some quiet time.

What we do

We are here for those moments when you need temporary relief from your caregiving responsibilities.

United Parents will provide a trained respite care provider who will care for your child/children in or out of the home. At United Parents we view each call for service, not as babysitting, but instead as an opportunity to assist in your child’s development using fun engaging skill-building activities and interactions that promote socialization and improve self-esteem.

What to expect?

• Time off.
• Quiet time.
• Child development.
• Continued support.



We host free quarterly respite fun events where parents/caregivers can sign up their child/ren to participate. These events provide an opportunity for both the child/ren currently enrolled in the program and those on the waiting list to enjoy a positive group experience. What makes these events special is that even siblings who are of school age and not enrolled in the program are welcome to attend. Additionally, the hours spent at these events do not count toward the monthly hours allocated for one-on-one services.
