Summer Aide Needed For Child With Special Needs

About the job

Hi! I am looking for an aide for my 8-year-old son for the summer. My son, O, has a terminal rare disease- Sanfilippo Syndrome, which is described as "childhood Alzheimer's" and he needs one-to-one support at all times. He's happy and active, but he has behavioral challenges (elopement, impulsive) and is non-verbal. Responsibilities will include: -Picking him up / taking him to therapy sessions, summer school, camp. -Supervision at all times; including while he's in the backyard pool or hot tub. -Feeding: He eats finger foods that he puts in his mouth himself. You would be responsible for putting his food in his bowl (or he'll shove all of it in his mouth) -Periodic pull-up changes. - We expect all aides to be active with him (daily walks in his stroller, daily trips to nearby playground)
