We have two small children, a boy aged 2 years, 8 months and a girl aged 9 mos. The boy was diagnosed with ASD and we would classify him as a “mild” case. He can feed, talk, walk, dress, etc. He does need help with engaging with speech, transitions, and social interaction. This is where we need some assistance is working with our son.
The baby is neuro-typical and requires normal care (e.g., playing, diapering, feeding, bathing). In terms of duties, working with our son, folding the kids' clothes, light cleaning, cleaning bottles, help with bathing, feeding, taking the kid(s) for walks, and runing errands nearby. We may add to that (e.g., pick up from daycare). We are located near Braddock Rd. and Little River Tpke in Fairfax (Alexandria/Annandale). It’s about 5-6 miles from the Fairfax Campus and transportation is needed. We would not pay mileage to/from the house. However, we would pay for any mileage (at the IRS rate) above the normal one-way commute if, for example, we asked the sitter to pick up at daycare or run an errand. The pay rate would depend on experience and would likely be in the $12-17 range. We are looking to start with one day per week on either Saturday or Sunday afternoon, 3-4 hours and/or for occasional sitting. We do have someone helping us now two evenings/week but her schedule is about to change. We believe she will have to stop working for us in the near future and we wanted someone with skills working with (or wanting to develop skills from school) an ASD child. This means a potential to expand to 1-3 days/week at 3-4 hours/day. We are flexible and can always talk to the student about availability and schedule. Please email if interested. -Michael [email protected]
