19 Yr Old Autism Caregiver
Posted by Jenni M. on 2/21/2025

- $20.00 per hour

Looking for someone to watch over a 19 year old male with severe autism. He has limited verbalism, often speaking one to four word sentences. He's very energetic, likes to run around the house and backyard, and enjoys playing with technology (e.g. iPads).
Looking for someone to keep an eye on him, ensuring he doesn't attempt to leave the house (which he often tries out of innocent fun), play with the stove, or do anything else harmful. Also looking for someone who is good at diffusing meltdowns and sensory overload - this is the biggest priority.
He's self entertaining, but can get frustrated when staring at a screen too long, so someone who can introduce him to simple learning games would be appreciated.
Weekend mornings are needed from April - June, and weekday afternoons starting in June. Please reach out if you've had experience with autistic adults, and this schedule works for you.
