About the job

Seeking sitter/caregiver for my husband (high-functioning autistic, Level 2). He loves chatting about UFOs, Legos & cartoons. During burnout he regresses: loses executive function, becomes childlike, has paranoia and anxiety, and needs calm help with meals, hygiene, and diaper changes (bladder incontinence). Need a kind, patient person where I can drop him off for a few hours or overnight so I can have a break and feel like a woman again. He mostly self-entertains, is very sweet & grateful. This of care helps us stay married after his breakdown & diagnosis. He understands respite care and is okay with it if you're gentle. If you enjoy cartoons, Lego, UFO facts and don't mind respectful personal care during regression, he'd love your company! Short-term drop-offs only. Thank you for helping us keep our family together.
