Child & Family Focus, Inc. (CFF) is seeking compassionate individuals to provide care to children with behavioral health needs in Bucks, Chester, and Delaware counties.

Respite Services are delivered on an hourly basis in the child's home. Hours vary from week to week based on the Respite Caregiver's availability and the assigned family's needs. We value our approved Respite Caregivers! Individuals approved to provide Respite Services will receive competitive, fee-for-service compensation, after-hours on call support, and may be eligible for yearly bonuses contingent upon performance, productivity, and family feedback.
