Vacation Sitter for 13-yr old with Down Syndrome

  • $30.00 per hour

Hello! Our family is headed to Maine this summer (July 27-Aug 3) to explore Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. One of our children has Down Sydrome and autism, and is physically not able to participate in some of the activities we're hoping to do (rock climbing, biking, certain hikes, etc). We'd love to find a sitter who can spend about 3 half-days (4-5 hours each day) with him while we are there. Our place is near the water, so could spend time at the beach, or relaxing at the house. He's a pretty easy going kid, but is still learning to use the toilet regularly, so in pull-ups. He's about the size of an 8-year-old physically, and developmentally probably 2-3 years old. Love the water, throwing a ball, and watching people walk up and down stairs! We've had vacation sitters in the past with no issues.
