Sitter needed for our 16 year old daughter with Downs Syndrome
Posted by Dalton Y. on 8/27/2025
- $18.00 - $22.00 per hour
Looking for someone who can provide care for our child when my wife and I want to get away for a weekend or something longer than a typical date night.
Some examples would be
* A 7pm to midnight booking during the week or on a weekend
* A booking to arrive on Friday morning and care for our daughter until we return on Sunday afternoon.
She is 16 has Downs Syndrome and forms attachments with people who spend time with her. She still talks about a sitter from 5 or 6 years ago.
She is fairly self-sufficient, she will ask for things she wants at lunch for example. She does need some assistance to clean up her area and get settled into bed each night. We can share the routine with the sitter
Looking for someone with experience with teens w/ DS
Homework would be unusual but not unheard of
Transporting our daughter would be rare
