About Child

Child is a fun, energetic, and loving young boy with autism. He is nonverbal, potty trained, and absolutely loves being active. If you're someone who enjoys staying busy, being outdoors, and having fun, you'll fit right in.

• Strong awareness of safety, especially regarding elopement.
• CPR certified (or willing to obtain certification).
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.

Who We're Looking For

More than anything, we're looking for someone who wants to build a long-term relationship with Child. Consistency is incredibly important for him, so we'd love to find someone who plans to stay for the long haul. Our hope is to find someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with children, loves to laugh, play, be active, and become someone child knows and trusts. We want this person to feel welcomed and valued in our home and to become a familiar, dependable part of Leland's support system.

If you're compassionate, energetic, dependable, and looking to make a meaningful difference in a child's life, we'd love to hear from you.
