My 9yo, DJ, has DiGeorge Syndrome, a rare chromosomal disease that has global affects. The 2 main issues are CHD &immunodeficiency. He is on the spectrum ((level2)). He's nonverbal but has limited communication of his needs/wants ((he will either bring it to you or lead you to it)). Although he eats primarily by mouth he still has a GTube for times when he doesn't eat when he's sick. He has low activity but he get into a lot of things lol
Looking for a VERY flexible, loving, trustworthy, & dedicated woman who could watch him a few hours here & there so I can have some me time. I can bring him to you if your place is SAFE ((I prefer no one else there)).
He's pretty easy going & loves nursery rhyme videos. He also LOVES water but I keep him from it. He doesn't understand safety yet so I monitor everything/every place he's at to make sure he's safe&out of harms way. He doesn't like extreme weather or the sun & prefers to stay indoors.
