Respite Services

Respite is more than just a break for caregivers—it’s an opportunity for children and youth to engage in meaningful, supportive experiences. I offer daytime, evening, overnight, one-to-one, and group respite services that focus on building confidence, routine, independence, and fun.

Respite Options

🟢 One-to-One Support
Individual care tailored to your child’s needs and interests. Whether at home or out in the community, I offer structured and unstructured activities that support emotional regulation, life skills, and social connection.

🟢 Overnight Respite
Calm, consistent overnight care in a home-like setting. Ideal for families who need time to rest or travel, while ensuring their child is safe and cared for with familiar routines.

🟢 Group Respite
Small-group programming where youth can build friendships, practice social skills, and engage in guided group play. Activities are carefully planned to be inclusive and developmentally appropriate.

Community Adventures & Activities

As part of my respite services, I love incorporating community-based outings that support physical health, sensory regulation, and social engagement. These may include:

  • 🌲 Hiking local trails to explore nature and practice mindfulness

  • 🏊 Swimming to build confidence and coordination in a fun environment

  • 🎳 Bowling and indoor play for social interaction and sensory-friendly fun

  • 🚲 Biking to support motor planning, stamina, and independence

  • 🎨 Crafts, board games, or music for creative expression and downtime

All outings are planned with safety, accessibility, and individual preferences in mind. Parents are involved in activity planning, and all community outings are adapted to ensure each child feels supported and successful.

My Approach

I use a strengths-based, person-centered approach that meets each child where they’re at. I draw on strategies from trauma-informed care, behavioural supports, and child development theory to offer meaningful, individualized care. I build trusting relationships through consistency, play, and open communication with families.

Whether your child thrives on adventure or prefers a quieter pace, I create experiences that are flexible, safe, and empowering.

If you're looking for reliable respite care that blends structure, support, and fun—I'd love to connect and create a plan that fits your family's needs.
