BACKGROUND

 

My name is Christina Schipul, I am a mom of four kids and have been working with children for over fifteen years in many different settings. The one setting that has changed my life was becoming a foster parent. Starting in 2012 I embarked on a two year journey with my foster son and his birth family. I monitored the visits and quickly realized how important it was for kids to stay connected to their birth parents and extended family. Now I want to offer that same service to other families and help them spend time together in a safe and stress free environment.

 

I am now a trained Professional Supervised Child Visitation Provider offering off-site supervised monitored visitations and "exchange-only" services under the 2015 California Rules of Court, Standard 5.20.
