Hi there, We are looking to take some trips and need extended care for our son. Any where from 5 to 10 days in your own home. He needs specialized care but he is mobile and can function typically in some areas. It is a well paid job and may occur monthly. This job might suit you if you yourself have a child with autism or have experience with our fun kids on the spectrum. We did look in to private care homes where we could pay but haven't found any yet. I think a home atmosphere would be better as well
TIA.
