Caregiver for our 20 year old son with severe autism spectrum disorder. Our son is non-verbal, but understands spoken English. He is very gentle towards other people, but perceives the world differently. He likes being outdoors, but does not like crowded places.
The job involves preparing light meals and snacks, contributing to our son achieving his learning goals (for example crossing the road safely), and doing activities with our son.
Typical activities are:
Going for walks
watching TV
going to the beach
hanging out
reading books
Over summer (Dec-Feb except Christmas/New year) weekly hours will be about 15 depending on availability, but we are interested in candidates interested in starting before and stay on after at a lower number of hours.
