We are looking for someone who can help give me some time back. I currently am a caregiver for my son, age 2 who has a rare genetic condition called IQSEC2. While he is 2 years old, his needs are not much more than that of a baby. He needs help eating, dressing, moving around, playing, pretty much everything. He is the kindest, sweetest little soul, so loving, so gentle, so happy. We are looking for someone to help relieve me for an hour or two here and there, with potential for a lot more depending on how it goes (and your availability). We would ask that you play with him, take him on walks, play music, feed him and be attune with his needs since he is non-verbal. Due to his medial situation, we are looking for someone comfortable with disabilities and the nuances associated with it, we ask for no judgement and only love in our home. He is 27lbs and picking him up will be crucial to being a helpful hand. We also have a 5yr old who will be in school but may be around time to time.
