Caregiver Needed For Special Needs 9yo In Ithaca

We are an academic family with a very bright but sometimes difficult 9yo son. We also have a daughter 12yo. We have a relationship with a caregiver already, but we need backup for times she won't be available during the Spring. Part time, but likely 15 hours per week or more. Pay commensurate with qualifications and experience. Experience caring for special needs children, or relevant training or coursework, highly desirable. Must be patient and flexible. Board games, walks with the dog, and light housework will be part of your job. You may need to supervise homework and reading. We would love to talk with you about this unique, challenging and rewarding opportunity.
