Bridging Families

Located along the Peninsula just minutes from San Francisco International Airport, Burlingame is a vibrant, family-friendly city known for its tree-lined streets, excellent schools, and welcoming neighborhoods. While many families in Burlingame enjoy stability and connection, some face the emotional and legal complexities that come with custody transitions, co-parenting challenges, or court-ordered visitation. Whether a family is working through legal proceedings or has reached a mutual parenting agreement, having structured support in place can make a critical difference. Bridging Families proudly offers professional supervised visitation and monitored exchange services in Burlingame and throughout San Mateo County, providing children with safe, secure opportunities to maintain meaningful relationships with both parents.

We understand that supervised visitation is often introduced during difficult or uncertain times. Whether required by the court, recommended by legal professionals, or voluntarily arranged, our services are designed to ease stress, minimize conflict, and protect the child’s emotional well-being. By offering neutral, structured environments for parent-child interactions, Bridging Families helps restore stability and support long-term family connection in a way that complies fully with California law.

All of our professional monitors meet the standards outlined in California Family Code §3200.5 and Judicial Council Standard 5.20. Each provider completes at least 24 hours of specialized training in child development, trauma-informed care, domestic violence awareness, cultural sensitivity, conflict resolution, and legal compliance. All providers are also Live Scan fingerprinted and registered with TrustLine, California’s official background check system for in-home and child-related service providers. These credentials ensure every visit is supervised by a qualified, vetted professional focused on child safety and family support.

We offer a variety of supervised visitation formats in Burlingame and neighboring cities such as Millbrae, San Mateo, and Hillsborough. Supervised visits can take place in neutral, child-friendly locations such as parks, libraries, or public community spaces that foster natural parent-child interaction. For families who require minimal parental contact or are navigating high-conflict situations, we also provide monitored custody exchanges—facilitating a secure, respectful transition between caregivers without confrontation. Additionally, we offer virtual supervised visitation via secure video conferencing platforms, ideal for families who live far apart or require additional flexibility.

Each visit or exchange is carefully monitored and documented by our trained staff. Objective observation notes are recorded and available to family law attorneys, court personnel, or mediators upon request. This documentation promotes accountability, reinforces court compliance, and supports the overall success of parenting plans and custody agreements. Our team also works closely with legal professionals, child welfare experts, and the San Mateo County family court system to ensure our services align with each family’s legal and emotional needs.
