My son was just accepted for ECI respite program to pay for an occasional babysitter. The only stipulation is that it has to be a nurse that watches him. I would prefer that the nurse have some NICU or PICU experience. Just need a few hours break here and there most likely during the daytime.

What can I do next?

There is a program at the Custer Road United Methodist Church in Plano, called Friday Night Friends. They do respite babysitting (free) on Friday nights for children with special needs and their siblings. There is a medically fragile room. The woman who works in there might be able to give you some referrals. I believe her last name is Jolly. If you call the church they will be able to connect you.

I am a speech-language pathologist, I have some clients who attend this program. I hope they can provide you with helpful leads.

Good luck! And congratulations for knowing that you need a break. Your child will only benefit from a refreshed mommy.

Best Regards,
S.

I know of a really great friend that works in the nicu at the Plano Medical Center. She may could help you or know of other nurses that would. Most nurses have strange hours. Her name is Jennifer Brouder.

I know of someone who may be interested. She currently is a NICU nurse at Presby-Dallas. I believe she has PICU experience as well. If you feel comfortable sending me your email address, I will be happy to forward it to her. You may want to include background info on your child. My email is ____@____.com luck!

E.,
Did you get any responses yet? I have a neighbor that is a nurse and if you need me to I will go ask her if she is interested or knows someone who is...just let me know.
