Had to look up Child Life Specialist:

Child life specialists are pediatric health care professionals who work with children and families in hospitals and other settings to help them cope with the challenges of hospitalization, illness, and disability. … They also provide information, support, and guidance to parents, siblings, and other family members.

@ljbozentka:
Most employers require child life specialists to have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. Some colleges and universities offer programs in child life, but other acceptable majors include child and family studies, psychology, child development, recreational therapy and early childhood education.
