Seeking a Therapeutic Companion + Awesome Human for Our Incredible Son with Autism
We are looking for a therapeutic companion for our 6-year-old son who has a diagnosis of autism.
We are in search of someone to not only be his caretaker, but someone who deeply desires to understand his needs, develop trust and security with him, and work daily to teach him skills to foster his independence and success in the world.
Although he attends school for the first half of each day, you will need to pick him up from school and then attend multiple daily therapy sessions with him. This role would be responsible for taking him to therapy sessions and participating in them as well, followed by taking what you learn in the sessions as “homework” to practice with him during the week.
During the hours when he is in school, we are looking for a house manager – to organize and clean his room, toys, and playroom. Do laundry for the household. Tidy up the kitchen and living room. Let service people in, etc. Also, there will of course be days when he does not attend school (certain holidays and sick days), where you will spend the full day with him during your working hours.
Now for the fun stuff! Keep your tennis shoes on – you’ll need them!
· Organizing play dates and supporting him while there – this extroverted kid likes to do things!
· Park time, climbing gym time, swim lessons, karate lessons – this kid is on the move!
· Ice cream parlors, donut shops, anywhere with bacon on the menu – he loves to be out!
· Puzzles? Do you like puzzles? Because you may have met your match with him!
· Reading books? Especially about space, dinos, and feelings – he’s got favorites to share with you!
Hours: 40 hours per week, M-F. Including 1 weeknight per week putting our son to bed.
Start Date: Mid-August.
If all of these criteria meet yours and you think this would be a ton of fun, then please reach out.

A little bit about us
Hi, I'm looking for someone to watch my two foster kids that I recently received in Feb. I will be adopting them so this is a long-term opportunity. I'm going back into the workforce so I need some assistance.
My son is seven and my daughter is six. They both have been diagnosed with “global delayed development”. My son is not potty trained, however, I’m trying to get him potty trained now. I would like to have someone who can partner with me to get him potty trained. My son is determined and eager to learn new things. My daughter is extremely smart. She likes to be the center of attention at all time. My daughter catches on to things extremely fast.
I’m looking for the following “must haves”:
CPR certified
Can pass a background check
Can work in the US legally
Has experience working with special needs kids
Can follow a schedule for the kids
Provide transportation on a "as needed" basis
My list of “good to haves”:
Has experience working with kids with speech therapy requirements
Light housekeeping
Can teach a 2nd language
I need someone who can work the weeks of August 5th, August 12th, and Monday August 19th from 7:30am to 6:00pm, Monday thru Friday. I’m open to having two people split the time for the two weeks I need full-time care. The kids will be starting school on August 20th so the hours will change to 2:30pm to 6:00pm. Also, I have an opening for Saturday to cover my respite hours. I’m not sure what the hours for Saturday will be yet.
I'm open to the option of nanny sharing. I’m also open to an after school program that will pick my kids up from school.
Please let me know if you are interested or know of someone that is a great fit.
If you have any questions please let me know.

Hi there! I have two adorable girls (15 months and 4 years old). My older is in school from 9-2. I need part time help from 1-5 on weekdays with my little one and sometimes my big one too. Some cleaning while my little one naps and then playtime until 5. My little one is completely deaf and wears cochlear implants, which allows her to hear just like you and me. I need someone caring and patient and who can understand how to work the devices (turning them on and off, putting them on her head, etc.) and give her some extra TLC. We’re also looking for babysitting in the evenings as needed on occasion :)
