A little bit about us
This means you:
Are positive and patient and want to have fun 1:1 with them based on what they are interested in and by following their lead.
Can pick up on non-verbal cues and behavior as communication.
Can redirect behavior if needed in a positive way without escalation and show compassion.
Are able to physically move quickly to keep up with them and keep them safe. Have awareness of safety.
They are both school aged. One child can speak but is not conversational and one has emerging speech. Both love being outside, playing with water, singing and music, Disney movies, reading, swinging and tumbling and playing on their tablets. They love to laugh and show their goofy sides, especially once they get to know people.
Availability: Some evenings after 4:00 pm and weekends. One weeknight shift of 2-3 hours and one weekend shift 4-6 hours. In July and August, some morning hours available between 7:00 and 11. Somewhat flexible on days.
To start, shifts will be in our home with a parent at home for guidance a few hours a week to establish relationships and trust. After that, some community experiences may be possible or you may be left alone.
Each shift you will be responsible to work 1:1 with one child at a time. Another PCA may also be there working 1:1 with the other child.
Upon hire, you must pass a background check and be fingerprinted to work for us. This is of no cost to you. Payment will be through payroll, and mileage reimbursed if transporting them.
Perks: Wage increases and stipends available for additional training and longevity. Great experience for someone going into education, healthcare or psychology.
