A little bit about us
Hello all,
My name is Leesha and my son's name is Aseem. Aseem is a very active, yet sweet 2 year old with a few health issues. He has epilepsy ( seizures) and takes medication twice daily. He also takes medication for his GI issues ( IBS). Also, he is enrolled in early intervention for speech and physical therapy.
I work part time, as I don't want to be away from my child too long and don't want to commit to a full time schedule at this point. My working hours are 7-330,but I don't drive so I will need an adult at my apt no later than 6am. So typically, I'll need a sitter between the hours of 6am-430pm.
We don't have pets and no pets allowed. No smoking allowed. I had open heart surgery and I don't want my child around smoke. Please be clean and pick up after yourself. Please don't invite other people over to my residence. Feel free to help yourself to what you need ( food, ECT). If any issues occur, please call me ASAP!

A little bit about us
Hi! We are looking for a nanny to join our family and help us after school for our 3 year old with special needs. We have 3 children, but we are currently looking specifically for a special person to care for our 3year old. Our 3year old is so full of life and personality! She also has Dravet Syndrome, which results in some developmental delay and frequent seizures. She walks independently and is fairly developmentally appropriate for her age. She has challenges with vocalization so she does have a significant speech delay that we hope to continue to work on! Her seizures are typically less than a minute long and we seem to have them about every week to 2 weeks. Her triggers are illness like the common cold, heat, and overexertion. She receives therapy services from OT, PT, and Speech Therapy once a week and can be done at our home. We are hoping this person will watch her primarily in our home and assist with light house chores, with the option to take her places to enhance her learning and exposure to all the beautiful things in life! We do not require previous experience with children with special needs, but someone willing to learn, be attentive and responsive, and willing to jump in when needed. We would be looking to hire someone part-time for after school care as my husband and I work full-time jobs Monday through Friday. I primarily work from home and am available to assist as needed for medical intervention. Let me know if you are interested in this unique opportunity!
