We have three amazing and loving boys. The twins (Luke and Logan) are 7-yrs old and we have a 9-yr old (Mark). Mark is autistic, but high functioning. He is in general education at school. He is very articulate and loves dinosaurs and hugs. One of the twins is also autistic. He is in the Enhanced Autism class at school. He can follow directions and is getting much better with verbal communication. He is a snuggler. Our third boy is typically developing, really enjoys being active, and can be a little shy. He loves to wrestle. All of our caretakers over the past 7 years have adored the boys and we still keep in touch with most of them.
In the morning, we need help getting the children up, dressed, fed, making lunches and on the bus. In the afternoons, we need help meeting the bus, playing with the boys, making them dinner, and with bedtime. One of both of the parents will be home the majority of the time you are working. It’s a team approach. We also need help with picking up after the boys (toys/washing clothes/dishes).
