Special Sitters

Special Sitters Professional In Home Care for children and young adults with a disability. As parents, our God given responsibility is to train our children for life.

As parents of four children, two with special needs, we understand your challenges in raising special needs children. As a parent, you experience highs and lows as your children grow through the seasons of life. We learned early, that these high and lows are amplified when you are caring for a special needs child. You want to attend your children’s sporting events, teacher conferences, and musical

performances. You want to continue to date your spouse because a strong marriage creates a strong family. Like us, you probably have asked yourselves, “How do we create and maintain this balance when most of our time and energy is devoted to caring for our special needs child?”

Our desire is to help you answer that question so your family can experience the fullness of blessings available to your family because of your special needs child. A Special Sitter was inspired by our ongoing journey of parenting our family and we believe that our experiences can help you experience the fullness of blessings we have received as we have raised our family.
