- $20.00 - $30.00 per hour
I have an 18-year-old non-verbal son who goes to Eden school for Autism from 9 AM till 2:45 PM. My wife is stay at home to care for him. I need someone to assist my wife after my son returns from school.
My son is 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighs 140 lbs. He sometimes gets agitated/anxious and can be aggressive/self-injurious at those times. These aggressions/anxiety attacks last for a few minutes, and there are 2 or 3 such events daily.
We need a caregiver who has experience dealing with anxious/aggressive situations and can calm such individuals down, while also being able to take care of themselves.
Require a physically strong care giver - strongly prefer a male care giver for obvious reasons.
My son is non-verbal and low functioning Autism. He will spend most of his time watching phone/tv and eating his lunch or snack.
We need a caregiver on week-days - 4 hours each day. The exact days can be adjusted or fixed - we can discuss/negotiate.
