SeekingSitters has created a nonprofit Child Respite Resource program that directly raises money to help these families find qualified providers. To put it in perspective, DHS gives up to $150 a year for respite care. It is estimated that $1920 per year (or $480/quarter) would be required to hire a qualified provider to work every other weekend. These children need a babysitter who can best predict their needs and who understands what they are going through. This foundation is designed to help subsidize the cost for families in these respite care programs so that they can get the assistance that they require.
