A little bit about us
We are a family with 6 children ages 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8. I (mom) homeschool our three school age children. Our home runs on a schedule and yet somehow is always crazy. Madeline, our 2 year old, was adopted out of foster care, and has severe intellectual and physical disabilities. She requires constant care and monitoring. Ellie, our baby, was also adopted, and has mild developmental and physical delays. Both girls are in therapies that are 30-45 minutes each. I am hoping to hire someone who can assist me day to day as a mother’s helper for the children, care for our older kids when I take the youngest 2 children to therapy, and play with Madeline when I need to do school work with the older children. Time frame we most need is Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30-12pm, and I’d like to also have someone on Mondays and/or Wednesdays. Special needs experience is preferred, but I’m happy to provide on the job training. We can pay $12-15 an hour. Our summer nanny does homework for college classes when the babies are napping, and I’m totally open to that moving forward.

I have two boys who need care Monday 3-8, Wednesday 8-6, and some Fridays 8-6. Wednesdays and Fridays would only be one child for half the day while the other is at school. My youngest has ASD and requires near constant care but he is an absolutely sweetheart. My mother will help with transportation from school so you don’t need to worry about that. I just need someone to play with them, feed them, and make sure they are safe while I’m at work. We can discuss pay further.

Would be caring for our 10 month old son. He is profoundly deaf and will be getting cochlear implants in the coming months. We are looking for someone who knows or is willing to learn ASL as we are teaching him sign language and spoken language. We are learning together and only know baby signs and a few phrases at the moment so don’t be discouraged. Experience with kids with special needs is a plus.
