A Supervised Visitation Monitor is a trained, neutral party ensuring child safety during visits with a noncustodial parent. Courts may require supervision for protection. Services include on-site, off-site, phone monitoring, and safe exchanges. The monitor's role is to:

• Ensure child safety throughout the visit
• Document interactions between parent and child
• Provide secure supervision as required by the court

Becoming a Child Visitation Monitor is not only a fulfilling career but also a financially rewarding opportunity. Monitors can:
