We are in need of a special needs worker that can work with our beautiful son Anderson. Anderson is 10 years old, he is non-verbal and is still in pull-ups.

As two working parents, we are in need of someone who can tend to his needs and is willing to get certified as a Direct Support Professional with our local Medicaid agency. The training is paid and the hours are paid through the agency. This is an awesome opportunity for a student pursuing a special needs degree.

The ideal candidate would have experience with special needs children.

Anderson is a wonderful, affectionate, loving child, he makes us smile everyday!
