Recurring Morning Caregiver Needed – Salem, VA

I’m looking for a dependable, patient caregiver for my 14-year-old autistic son.

Schedule: Approximately 7:00–10:00 a.m., 4–5 mornings per week, while I work out nearby.

Pay: Approximately $18–$20 per hour, depending on experience.

My son is nonverbal and generally enjoys quiet mornings and familiar routines. He requires consistent adult supervision, particularly because he has a history of wandering/elopement.

I’m looking for someone who is reliable, attentive, and comfortable following established routines. Experience with autism or special-needs caregiving is strongly preferred.

Applicants must have their own reliable transportation and be comfortable in a home with dogs, cats, and rabbits.

There may also be opportunities for occasional evening or date-night babysitting, but these hours are entirely optional and arranged separately.

References required. Please message me with your experience, availability, and a little about yourself.
