271: More Than A Babysitter: Redefining Support for Families with Special Needs | Susan Asay, CEO & Founder of Apex Social Global Exchange Foundation
Caring for a child with disabilities isn't just a full-time job, it's a deeply personal, emotional, and often isolating journey. What if the support parents need wasn't just about filling a shift, but about building a relationship?
In this episode of Parenting Impossible, Annette Hines sits down with Susan Asay, founder of Apex Social Exchange Foundation, to talk about what it really means to find care you can trust. Susan shares her own story of juggling a demanding career, raising young kids, and desperately trying to find someone who could not only help, but understand. That search led to a program connecting families with compassionate, live-in care professionals trained to support children with complex needs. Building a more inclusive world starts in the home, and with the right support, parents don't have to do it alone.
In this episode, you will hear:
-
Why the person caring for your child should be a true partner in their development.
-
How to find someone qualified and emotionally ready to support a child with disabilities full-time.
-
Ways international caregivers fill the critical gap in America's special needs childcare system.
-
Why matching personalities just as important as matching skills when it comes to live-in care.
