About the job
11 yo boy with non verbal autism and epilepsy. Friendly and loving, small, and very mobile. Possible crying and meltdowns due to lack of communication. Seizures are rare. I have three kids. I want to be able to take my other two children for a walk, or to a park, and I can't do that with all three kids on my own. You will need to take responsibility for my son only, not the other two. This means sometimes accompanying us on outings, or staying behind with him at home. You will need to be able to keep him safe, feed him, and all the basic things you'd do for a 2-4 yo! (That's his developmental age range). Dancing, having fun, arts and crafts, outdoors, animals. Super sweet and loving. He is affectionate and loves to hug. He likes to be chased. He doesn't understand personal space boundaries. He also has meltdown where he cries and is distraught. He has epilepsy but it's rare that it happens. We have a seizure plan that you'd be made aware of. He needs help with all tasks including water, food, toileting. He's small for his age about 60 lbs. he is very mobile and enjoys being chased and tickled and playing outside. Friendly disposition and experience with kids in general. Parking in driveway or cul de sac. Chihuahua: 18 yrs old. Friendly but blind and deaf. Cat: 2 yo friendly.
