WHAT IF I NEED TO BRING MY CHILDREN?  Each situation is unique as there are times of a quick in-town medical appointment or a shared custody situation where one of the parents has a weekend visit with their kids.  The same rules of safety and code of conduct are expected when kids are with you.  We will not babysit, or provide child care while you are at appointments.  As part of the Intake process, we can further discuss the situation.
