- Kelly, Bennett's Mom

“Bennett loves his caregiver relief provider, Maria, who is a part of our family and she cares so much for our son. We completely trust her and have a secure feeling knowing she will care for him like no one else will. Caregiver Relief was here to help me when I went back to school to become an Occupational Therapist Assistant. These services help keep our family unit strong and help us stay fully present and not burnt out from the demands of Bennett’s full time medical and developmental needs care. We just want to be the best Mom and Dad for him.”
