It can be challenging to have someone else come into your home on a regular basis and care for your child. Many parents/caregivers feel a sense of uncertainty regarding the hiring and training of a respite worker.
Safeguards Training is now offering a FREE online course to assist parents in the support and training of a respite worker. You can access the course by going to the following link:
www.respitecourse.ca
If you would like some information about training a respite worker and are not interested in completing the course at this time, you can also visit the resource section of this website to download a handbook that complements the online course.
As usual, if you have any specific questions regarding respite workers, please contact the Respite Resource Coordinator at the Children's Community Network at 705-566-3416 ext. 2590.
