A little bit about us
Both boys have Charcot Marie Tooth, Autism, and ADHD. CMT is a nerve disorder. For "Mother's Helper" purposes, it means that if they look like they 'should' have gotten hurt, we have to check because they may or may not notice. And, we have to notice of they are 'too hot' for them. They don't get hurt any more than any other kid though; they just don't always feel it when they do.
Neither boy is toilet-trained, but Russ is "training." You don't have to change pullups or change clothes, unless you're comfortable. I just need you to notice, and let me know. (If you can, that's great!)
Michael is the most delayed. I need a constant eye on him. He puts things in his mouth like a toddler, and gets into things that aren't safe, if not watched.
Russ is Speech Delayed, and uses basic ASL signs to make himself understood, when his speech isn't clear. You don't need to be fluent, just willing to learn a few basics as you go.
We have a small above ground pool in the backyard, so I prefer someone who can swim. Neither boy can "swim" officially, so I need an adult with them IN the pool.
You won't be dealing with all this alone. At worst, I'll ask you to stay with them while I go get laundry or other chores done in another room. I'm always available. I just need someone that will interact and play with them, give me an extra hand when we do activities, accompany us if I take them to the museums (I'll pay your ticket) or playground, grab them a Snack or Drink from the cabinet or fridge, they sort of thing.
It might be a good opportunity for someone young but responsible that would like to gain some real experience working with Medically Complex, Special Needs kids under the supervision of a parent who just needs an extra hand.

Types of After-School Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities
Typical duties include school or bus-stop pickup, snacks, homework help, activities and lessons, and sometimes dinner. Some jobs include a few mornings or school holidays too. Check the school pickup time, the days per week, and whether driving is required.
How to Interview for After-School Nanny Jobs
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:
- What time is school pickup, and which days do you need care?
- Will I drive, and is a car seat or vehicle provided?
- How do you handle early dismissals and school holidays?
- What are the children's activities and routines?
- Is dinner or light housekeeping part of the job?
Beyond asking these questions, families will want you to have your nanny references ready and ask any questions to show initiative. The nanny job interview is an excellent opportunity to get aligned on the nanny job expectations. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
