A little bit about us
Leo is sweet, engaged, and loves to laugh and explore through assisted play. While non-verbal and non-ambulatory, he's highly communicative and cognitively engaged. He crawls independently, is learning to use an iPad for communication and a gait trainer for walking.
This is a physical job - must be able to lift 40+ lbs and have your own car. Special needs experience helpful but initiative and eagerness to learn are most important. We're seeking a full partner in Leo's development, not just a caregiver.
We are looking to expand our care team for Leo, so exact hours are TBD, but typically looking for afterschool during the week (230 pm+) and daytime/evenings on weekends. Some flexibility with scheduling is fine but this won't work if your schedule changes a lot, or if you can't ever arrive for a 230 pm start. Consistency is key for both us and Leo! Strong preference for someone who is available year-round. Competitive pay. Please reach out if you think you might be a fit!
