About the job

We are looking for an energetic and loving person to help our family part-time on a regular basis. We have a 19-year-old daughter on the autism spectrum

We are looking for an energetic and loving person to help our family part-time on a regular basis. We have a 19-year-old daughter on the autism spectrum and a basset hound. Our daughter is fully verbal but lacks social language/skills and needs engagement with a wider group of people beyond just our family. I also travel for work and sometimes need someone to be in the house to help her get to school or get dinner. Similarly, my husband and I sometimes need the ability to go out without her. The ideal candidate must be honest, fun-loving and reliable but also firm and warm. Some knowledge of autism is highly preferable, but not a must. Strong instincts about how to manage occasional behaviors and a sense of how to creatively engage people on the spectrum will make up for alot. Looking for person to support family over time.
