Job description

Hi, I am looking for a babysitter to help me starting on October 5th, though the start date is flexible. The schedule includes Monday to Friday from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM. You will take care of two 10 year old boys. They're on the spectrum but used to the routine and not difficult to manage. You should be comfortable around our cats, but you won’t need to care for them at all. Your role involves ensuring a safe environment, helping with morning routines, and providing support with getting ready for the bus. They are fairly easy, just need a little help getting dressed and maybe making some simple breakfast if they're hungry.

Requirements

• Special needs experience
• Multiples experience
• Comfortable with pets
