A little bit about us
-during the week- (flexible days/hours but hope to be consistent week-week)to assist with managing the typical every day maintenance like laundry, dishes, food and sundries rotation, light cooking, opening and putting away supply deliveries (Amazon prime mostly), and general organization;
-and on weekends- (7am-12pm- could leave at 10am-neg) caring for our youngest son with Down syndrome until the daytime caregiver comes in (at 10am-leaving time to complete anything around the house that needs finishing). We are hoping for a self starter who can arrive
-on weekdays- and get started with routine tasks and also be willing to help with list items as they come up (ex: please organize the utensil drawer, it’s gotten out of hand! Or pretty please wipe out the soda fridge bc a can leaked and we tried but didn’t quite clean it well enough) and
-on weekends- to help our 9yo when he wakes with going to the bathroom, getting breakfast, taking his medicine and getting dressed for the day. He has Down syndrome so his development is delayed, but he communicates and ambulates well. He makes up for his delays with an abundance of joy and love of running with no fear! Our oldest son (who graduates from high school this year!) has a genetic disorder that presents as addhd, autism, and coordination delay. Our 16yo daughter is super spunky, beautiful, brilliant and helpful when she wants to be! During the week perhaps help with a snack when they get home would be great, but otherwise no extra “nanny” care for them is warranted.
