Companion + Fitness Guide Needed For Our Fun, Enthusiastic 18 Year Old Son On The Spectrum

About the job

Looking for a companion and fitness enthusiast to help our 18-year-old with high functioning autism meet his goals for exercise and increased independence. You would guide him in light cardio workouts, as well as work with him on more general life skills in and out of the house. He is fun loving and adventurous, and eager for help navigating nutrition, fitness, relationships, money, household chores, time management. We're looking for someone who is creative and ambitious with planning, able to come up with interesting outings and other activities. This could include anything from trips to the Smithsonian to an afternoon at a ropes course -- anything that builds confidence and inspires exploration. Especially interested in candidates working toward careers in therapy or special ed. Schedule flexible. Look forward to hearing from you!
