We are looking for a patient, caring, honest, and loving female sitter to spend quality time with our sweet and kind child. You must enjoy engaging with children through play, crafts, books, and music and be able to make Saturday afternoons a fun, comfortable, and positive experience for our child. If selected, you will need to complete a background check and CPR/First Aid training before starting. The cost of the background check and training will be covered.

*About our child:
Our child has mobility challenges and uses a walker for ambulation. The child requires standby assistance and hands-on help with daily living activities. The child communicates using a touch-screen communication device.
We are looking for someone who is **patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable providing gentle assistance when needed**. Experience working with children with mobility or communication challenges is a plus, but we are also willing to consider someone who is caring, responsible, and eager to learn.
If you enjoy spending time with children and would like to provide companionship while helping our child have a fun and enjoyable Saturday, we would love to hear from you!
