Caregiver Needed for Our Loving Son, Jacob

We are seeking a compassionate and patient caregiver for our amazing 19-year-old son, Jacob. Although developmentally at the level of a 1- to 2-year-old, Jacob is a joyful individual who thrives with attentive and adaptive care.

About Jacob:

Non-mobile and non-verbal: He requires assistance with all mobility and communication needs.
Medical needs: Jacob has cortical vision impairment, experiences seizures, and uses an ostomy bag. He is also diapered and needs help with feeding.
Play and engagement: While Jacob’s care requires the attentiveness of working with a toddler, his unique needs call for creative adaptation of play and interaction to suit his condition and abilities.
What We’re Looking For:
We are looking for someone who will care for Jacob with patience, understanding, and kindness—someone who can approach his care as you would with any 2-year-old, but with the added creativity and attentiveness needed to meet his specific needs.

CPR and first aid training required. Must have fingerprint clearance card.
