My experience is mainly with the elderly and the mentally-ill, and includes over 10 years as a social worker. I am currently a part-time respite (as-needed) sitter for a 48-year-old who had a stroke, and he does have some hands-on special needs, such as assisting with foot brace placement, and also the hand/wrist brace. Other than that, and some occasional re-assurance when he gets fearful or anxious, he is pretty independent. He is out of town for a few days. His mom (my employer) offered to share me with whomever else may need my sitting services, and said she would work around the hours of any other position I am offered (as long as she can get a few hours to herself at some point each week, she is happy).
