Respite foster care

The need for respite parents in the Milwaukee area is great. Respite foster care is temporary child care that is provided in your home. It is a vital support service to full-time foster parents who do not have natural supports to care for foster children for a needed break. As a respite foster provider, you have the option to care for children according to your schedule and availability.

If you are a social worker looking to request respite for a client please email Libbie Pribek.

Learn more about becoming a licensed respite provider by emailing Amy Basting.
