What are the different types of caregiving ?
- Respite care: when a person or family temporarily cares for another family’s child. This gives the child’s biological family a break so the parents can get step away for some restorative time.
- Foster care: provides alternative care for children who are unable to live with their birth parents or legal guardians. We embrace the learning and teachings of Indigenous Knowledge and Oral Traditions, and are committed to providing the best alternative care for Indigenous children.
- Relief care: provides a break to foster caregivers in caring for the child(ren).
1. Do I have to be Indigenous to care for Indigenous children and youth?
2. Do I have to reside in Vancouver?
We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply as children and youth have diverse interests that may also match your interests.
