ISO AFTER SCHOOL nanny for my son with special needs and his brother. I have 2 sweet, tenderhearted boys. My 9-year-old has developmental delays. While his needs aren't too severe, he needs help with, feeding, playing, communicating, pottying, walking/mobility, and general independent skills. He functions more like a 2-year-old. He is 72 lbs. and physical ability to help with mobility is a must (helping him in/out of car, up and down stairs, in/out of chairs). The job responsibilities include picking up from bus, taking him to therapy appointments, playing lots of basketball, and light housework (meals, dishes, laundry). His neuro-typical 7-year-old brother is loving, smart, a good helper. I am looking for an energetic, reliable, patient, flexible, mature individual who is willing to become an integral part of our family.

She cannot walk independently, but she can walk in a walker if someone helps her. She cannot talk, but she can communicate with body language as you get to know her, and she can make choices with her iPad if someone helps her. She needs hand-over-hand help to use her hands functionally. She needs to be fed, toileted (and diapered), showered, and entertained. She needs a very good friend who will take her to parks, restaurants, and places of entertainment so she can enjoy the same activities, other young women, her age enjoys. The person who works with her can take her out and about in her wheelchair-accessible van. This is a big job, but you will have all the training and support necessary to make certain you are comfortable working with my daughter. She needs a lot of care and a lot of love, and she gives a lot of love in return. The person who works with my daughter must be fully vaccinated for Covid. This person must have a valid driver’s license and their own transportation (we live in the North Arlington/McLean area). This person must be willing to commit to working for us for at least one year. Salary is negotiable and will be commensurate with experience. My daughter needs a best friend she can depend on for the best of care. If you are a patient and caring person and are interested in talking to me about this position, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you! Maureen H.

Looking for a part-time caregiver for our Infant family member in Arlington ASAP.

Ideal match will meet the requirements below.

We are looking for someone that can come to our house and watch our infant son some afternoons across the week. We work from home, but are looking for some relief mid week whether due to one of us on travel or just needing to focus on work. Essentially we want someone who will play with him, ensure he takes a nap, and can ensure he's fed on schedule. He has no special needs and is already fairly attuned to his daily schedule.

I am looking for someone to babysit my children in the morning and also drop my daughter off at her bus and take my son to school. And then pick my son up from school afterward and meet my daughter at the bus stop. I usually get home shortly after her bus arrives and would love for you to stay for another hour or two to help with the evening routine. This job would be for 3-4 weeks and would be daily for Monday through Friday. However, after this job ends, we are looking for a babysitter for some days after school and on some weekends as well, if you are interested. I have a 3yo son, who is the sweetest and funniest kid in the world, and a 5yo daughter who has mild high functioning autism and is also a super sweet and bright kiddo. We would need you to have your own reliable transportation but we will provide their car seats.
