Program Information:

Respite Services Dufferin is here to support and facilitate the connection of qualified respite providers to families. Once active, respite providers are added to our online database and their profiles are sent to families. 

Are you a respite provider, looking to join our database?

Respite Services Dufferin is seeking dependable, compassionate individuals to join our online Respite Provider database. We are seeking individuals who can offer support to people with different abilities. Respite providers should live in Dufferin region, or be willing to travel to the area. 

Most families are seeking casual respite providers to care for their family member during the evening, weekends and during the summer. Respite providers determine their own rate of pay, availability and duties based on their qualifications and family needs.
