On this episode of Two Moms and Some Labels, I sit down and chat with the Owners/Founders of Exhale Babysitting Company. Exhale Babysitting Company is bringing a unique and much needed service to Northeast Florida. As a parent in general, we get tapped out and just need a break. As a parent or caregiver of a child with special needs, a lot of times we get tired because we are the 24/7 caregiver, and it can be almost impossible to find a qualified and experienced caregiver to meet our child's medical and/or behavioral needs.

And that is what makes Exhale Babysitting Company so different. The owners are Behavioral Analyst, so they get it, they have the experience, and they make sure their staff have the training necessary to handle various family needs. So listen carefully to this episode for a surprise at the end from Exhale Babysitting Company!
