Hi there! We’re looking to share a nanny for our 2 year old. We tried daycares but our son needs a small environment due to his ASD diagnosis. He’s high functioning and incredibly social but just needs a more intimate setting than the typical daycare ratio of 12:2. We will be starting some therapies but ideally need care M-F 8:30-4:00.

A little bit about us
My boys have special needs so I need someone with experience in this field. They are verbal, and can do a lot for themselves. Their safety awareness is not totally there. Hence why they can be by themselves. I need someone in the early mornings about 5am to about 8/9am. Also Someone at night about 6pm to about 10pm/ when they go to bed. They get their medication at 6pm and 6am in the morning. We have a dog please allow outside.
