Discover Balanced Babysitting Child Care

I'm Rebecca Ryan, and my mission centers around making a meaningful impact on the lives of families facing the unique challenges of raising a special needs child. As a mother of two wonderful children, I've experienced the beauty of parenthood, empathizing with both its joys and challenges. The road to Balanced Babysitting wasn't an overnight occurrence. Life has a knack for presenting unforeseen twists, and my story is a testament to that truth.

For the longest time, I searched for my true calling, and it was a chance encounter with a Speech-Language Pathologist that lit up my path. Watching children make progress touched my heart, inspiring me to pursue a degree in Speech in sunny Florida. But my story didn't stop there.

Along the way, I stumbled upon Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and its incredible potential to transform the lives of children with special needs. I was captivated and decided to minor in ABA, solidifying my commitment to helping these young individuals thrive.

With a background in speech and ABA, I often found myself being asked to babysit for families who appreciated my deep understanding of their child's unique needs. I realized the immense demands placed on parents raising children with special needs and the importance of giving them a chance to unwind. This realization led me to work for a company that shared my passion in Florida. However, when life brought me to Pennsylvania, I noticed a gap in the support available in this area.

That's why I've embarked on this journey to create a company focused on providing sitters for families like yours. My mission is crystal clear: to lend a helping hand to parents, offering them the precious gift of peace, while knowing their child is in the warm and caring hands of our dedicated team.
