A little bit about us
I find myself in the role of a single parent, earnestly striving to find the right balance between my responsibilities. My primary goal is to secure enrollment for my son in a school program that suits him while still allowing me to fulfill my work commitments. This journey has been both challenging and rewarding, and I am now seeking a reliable source of childcare assistance.
The specific hours I require assistance are on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm, as well as Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 3:30 pm to around 8:00-8:30 pm. If my son is fortunate enough to be accepted into the school program we desire, the weekday evening hours may shift to approximately 4:30/5:00 pm - 8:00/8:30 pm.
Allow me to introduce my beloved son, Malakai. He is a remarkable 3 1/2-year-old boy, overflowing with brightness, affection, and creativity. Although he received an Autism diagnosis last year, I am in the process of seeking a re-evaluation because he no longer exhibits many of the initial signs. His speech, once delayed, has made significant strides since around February of this year, and there has been a noticeable reduction in behavioral and sensory challenges. While transitions still pose occasional difficulties, the past two months have shown remarkable improvement.
Malakai’s interests are as diverse as his personality, including a profound love for trains, space, the exploratorium, outdoor adventures, and water play. He is a spirited and inquisitive child, and I am searching for a caregiver who can embrace his unique qualities and continue to nurture his growth and development.
If you feel a connection to our story and believe that you could be the support we need, I would be deeply grateful for the opportunity to connect with you.
