A little bit about us
Hi! I'm looking for babysitting/caregiving for my kids. I have two sons (5 and 10) who attend two schools. My five year old has autism (level 1), and he goes to first grade at Park School in Amherst. Amar is a sixth grader at City Honors in Buffalo and we live in North Buffalo off Hertel.
I need somebody to pick up Caelan from Park at 3 and drive back to meet Amar's bus at 4 in North Buffalo 3-4 days a week, and stay until 5 or a negotiable time. I work on UB North campus with one or two days from home. There could be other times as well such as a few hours for me to go grocery shopping etc on a weekend. We live in a lower apartment with small yard and we have a cat.
Please reach out if interested, my cell is [phone number hidden]. Email is [email hidden]. thank you!

We need someone who can commit to long-term after school care for our son. Need Tu/Wed 3-5:30 at least but up to M-F 1:30-7. He's 5 and attends preschool. He is autistic and non-speaking. He communicates with an device, gestures, facial expressions, and leading you to things. He is great at self-regulating through stimming and advocating for his needs. His favorite activities are going for walks outside, swinging on his sensory swing, and watching his favorite shows. He likes routines and repetition. It will be important for his caregiver to be reliable, patient, and open to learning about our family's views about autism and how we affirm his . It will take time and consistency to get to know him, but building a bond with him is so special and rewarding!
School pick-up would be helpful. Helping with household tasks and our newfiedoodle would also be great!

My spouse and I are looking for a responsible, LGBTQ accepting, and patient sitter to take care of our adorable autistic twin toddlers. They are quite the pair and have such cute unique personalities. They are a handful at times; so we do seek someone who is knowledgeable of neurodivergence and are also fast on their feet! We are looking for help about 2 times a week, some for work days and date nights (hours not set, but this is an estimate). Our sitter will need to have their own reliable form of transportation. We take COVID and other health precautions seriously and expect the same from our nanny. We are fully vaccinated and boosted.

A little bit about us
Our family is small but big on kindness, love, and consideration. Mom and Dad are both working professionals welcoming the opportunity to enhance the care of our child through the services of an experienced and competent child-care professional. This position is mostly weekday mornings, maybe afternoons. The primary need is for someone who can get our son on the bus in the mornings and/or do drop-offs to school (federal gas mileage reimbursement rate). Maybe someone to help with afternoon pickups/after school hours as well. Our boy is 6 and wonderful: highly intelligent, engaging, funny, curious, adventurous, and also super sweet! He has sensory needs so patience, clear communication, and assertiveness is a must! Please message me if you are interested--pay is negotiable

I have a 6 year old on the autism spectrum but functional with adhd and some behavioral issues. I'm in need of someone who is patient and compassionate to get him off the bus 4 days a week. His bus arrives at 330 but the schedule is 3p-5p to allow for meal preparation. I am also looking for 1 weekend day bi-weekly 630a-330p and possibly 2 mornings 630a- 830a, bus pickup is 802a and additional time will allow for time to clean up after breakfast. I have a 15 year old who is pretty self sufficient. He partipates in extra-curricular activities after school so he wouldn't be home during most shifts. Pay is 22/hr with 12 to 20 hours per week.
