Looking for someone to assist with Christopher. He is a very happy child - he is non-verbal and very active. He has a rare genetic disorder that has caused developmental delays and some autistic-like behaviors (he likes to roll back and forth on floor to stimulate). He needs someone's total attention. Would like assistance so my wife and I could take on typical errands (we currently need to do this "in shifts") as well as have some time to get a break from things and have a date. Christopher would require diaper changes, possibly a bath (depending on time), assistance eating, possibly taking his medicine (depending on time, he takes half a pill every night), and being put to bed. Christopher has an older brother, Johnny, who is 9 years old. Johnny is more or less an average 9 year old and just needs someone in the house to make sure he eats, brushes his teeth, and goes to bed on time.
