Job description

We are looking for a kind, patient, and dependable caregiver for our sweet 8-year-old son who has autism. He has a fun sense of humor and a wonderful personality once he gets comfortable with you. He is not yet potty trained and will need assistance with toileting/personal care. He can sometimes become overwhelmed and have emotional breakdowns, so we are looking for someone who is calm, understanding, and comfortable helping him regulate during those moments. Experience with autism or special needs would be a huge plus!

We mainly need help before and after school—helping him get safely on the school bus in the morning and being there to meet him when he gets off the bus in the afternoon when we are unable to be there due to work.
