Job Description

Hi there! I’m looking for a reliable babysitter for my foster child, who just finished kindergarten and will be 6 soon but has autism and developmental delays (so presents closer to 4). The start date is flexible, but I’m hoping for occasional (biweekly) date nights on Friday or time on the weekends. The ideal candidate has experience with autism and/or trauma informed care. Plus if you have a car in case of emergency. My home has a 35 lb Shetland sheepdog and a cat. You do not need to care for the pet, but being comfortable around pets is important. This position is for one child, and we look forward to meeting you!
