Question on Respite workers

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask, for those, who have a " respite worker " for your

child. Would you,

treat the respite worker like another family member/friend type

relationship, because that person is working very close with your

child, spends time with your child, and is with your child long term.

and you can get to know/trust that person, so when they are out

together, you are more comfortable? -OR-

Is it best to decide, that's their job and keep it " all

work " " Professional " , and explain what needs to be done and keep the

respite worker separate from any family type stuff? and just find out

from the service coordinator, anything you need to know about the

worker?

We are getting a new respite worker soon and I would like to know how

you worked that out? thank you
