About the job
Friendly Upper West Side family looking for caregiver to cover ~2 weekends/month (Sat/Sun 12-7:30 pm) and some weekend/weeknight date nights. Occasional overnights a plus. Our twin sons are 21; one is autistic (verbal) and our caregivers mostly focus on him. The other is on the spectrum but fairly independent; he's in college and home on weekends/breaks. Position includes engaging our son in indoor and outdoor activities & supervising life skills (e. g., showering, using bathroom). Also making beds & meal prep/clean-up for both boys (when our other son is home) & occasional errands (light grocery shopping). Our boys have Medicaid disability benefits, so caregivers are paid on the books via the boys' Medicaid budgets every 2 weeks (direct deposit or check). This requires some initial hiring paperwork via the agency that handles payroll.
