I am seeking a compassionate and reliable babysitter to lend a helping hand with our lively household of 1-3 kids, aged between 1 to 8 years old. This will help balance housework, errands, church commitments, and weekly preparations.
Our oldest is an 8-year-old autistic boy, mostly nonverbal. Experience and comfort in working with neurodivergent children is essential. The little ones are energetic and full of curiosity.
We have 2 small dogs that can be a bit grouchy, but they are primarily kept in a separate area, so it will be minimal interaction.
Expectations
- Engage kids with fun and educational activities.
- Provide attentive care to each child's needs, especially catering to the preferences and communication style of our oldest son.
- Light meal/snack preparation.
-Maintain a safe and nurturing environment.
- Previous experience with children, particularly neurodivergent kids, is highly preferred.
- Training in CPR/First Aid is a plus.
- Patience, kindness, and creativity are key!
We can adjust the schedule; primarily focused on weekends and occasional weekday afternoons. Our home is in a great neighborhood with easy access and parking available.
