About the job

We have a 25 yr old autistic son who aged out of the school system at 21. Before the pandemic, he used to have an active routine of visiting museums and enjoying subway rides and long vigorous walks, but now he's nervous about going out since he was deprived of it for so long. He's just afraid of new things and likes routine which unfortunately no longer includes school or the full activity schedule he once had. I need an energetic caregiver with special needs experience who is also calm and understanding of autistic behaviors and can help our son transition every day into going out on a walk in the neighborhood and even simple things like getting pizza for lunch, and engaging him in basic conversational skills. My son is verbal but does have intellectual challenges so he needs assistance. I'm open to increasing hours/week.
