Our family recently qualified for respite care under an active duty military exceptional family member program. It does require CPR/first aid and background checks. Currently we qualify for 32 hours per month, and a second program is expected to qualify us further. Pay with this program is $24/hr-$28 based on experience and training. Our need is flexible as to days and hours; wife isnt currently working and would initially just be a break from constant care. Our daughter is 20 months old and her disability puts her at the care needs of a newborn. She suffered brain damage and regression due to a genetic mitochondrial disorder.
