After School Care for Teen with Autism
Posted by Blake C. on 8/29/2026
- $15.00 per hour
I have a 15 year old boy named Miles who we need to find a sitter for. He gets off the school bus around 330 and we would need someone to sit with him until my wife or I get home at around 530. More time can be arranged in the evening or on the weekend.
Miles is 15 years old with autism and developmental delays. Although he’s 15, he’s very small (only 55 pounds). He likes to play outside, rock, and snuggle. He’s a sweet kid, but I’m probably biased. He’s non verbal but generally does a good job of letting you know what he wants.
We’ve been using private duty nursing but have not been able to find nurses lately. Miles does not require special medical attention but his insurance pays for it if we can find it. I say all that to say that we have not had to pay a sitter for him before and we aren’t sure what the going rate is currently. So if the rate I mention below is off then don’t be afraid to reach out anyway.
