Columbia, MO Special Needs Jobs

We need a sitter for the second half of the summer. Two boys - ages 6 and 9. The 9-year-old is on the autism spectrum (very high functioning). Must have own transportation and willing to take them to the pool (we can get you a membership too). Prepare meals and snacks. Light housekeeping - keeping house picked up. We do have one indoor cat. We do prefer someone with experience with children on the autism spectrum. Consistency and setting expectations/schedules is key. High energy/willing to play/do activities with the boys a must!

We are looking for a full time nanny, beginning in January, for two energetic, smart, happy, kids. Our 3-year-old thrives with preschool-like activities, routines and boundaries. Our 1-year-old came to us at 7 months and has some mild special needs, seemingly associated with early neglect. He is doing great but sleep is a challenge. Our ideal candidate has experience working in a preschool or daycare, some college classes in child development, and a small social bubble. The job includes: Planning enjoyable and/or educational activities, particularly the 3-year-old; encouraging outside time, even in cold/wet weather; giving the kids lunch; children's laundry; keeping toys, books, and kid clothes organized (with help from the kids!); kitchen cleanup; curbside pickup of groceries once a week. No screen time during the day.

Both of our children are vary independent with strong personalities. Our oldest is actually adopted but doesn't know it. She has a tendency to focus on certain things. She doesn't start kindergarten until next year so we are trying to identify and work on behavioral issues now. Also I'm a working mom with special needs so my interaction and assistance around the house and with my kiddos can be limited. Additional needs include pick up / drop off, light housekeeping, meal prep, having a reliable car and a non-smoker. Looking for a caregiver for my 2-year-old daughter and 5-year-old daughter. Flexible start date.

Looking for a part-time caregiver for our Infant family member with Heart Defects, Down Syndrome in Ashland. Ideal match will meet the requirements below.

"A" is a very sweet 8-month-old baby girl. She has Down Syndrome, is on oxygen and has a G-tube. We are hoping to find a private caregiver because daycare bugs are rough on her and delaying our attempts at weaning her off oxygen. Schedule may vary some as her dad's schedule rotates but could guarantee 30-50 hours per week. (50 would be extremely rare) Caring for her G-tube is easy to learn and other than being connected to a few tubes she is a typical baby. Please message me if interested or if there are any questions about "A" or our family.

We have three children (5, 7, and 11), and the 5-year-old is special needs. He is the sweetest boy, and the other children are pretty self-sufficient. I work Friday night and Sunday nights. The job is going to be transferring the 5-year-old to therapy in Columbia on Mondays and Fridays. You can sit and do homework at therapy, or hang out and play with him too! We need someone comfortable transporting him, and someone able to carry him (about 50 lbs) short distances. He is unable to sit, stand, or walk without assistance, but like I said, he's the sweetest kid ever!

We are looking for a caregiver for our 9-month-old daughter. She has Down Syndrome, has a g-tube and oxygen. These extra accessories are easy to learn and she is an incredibly sweet baby. She is currently in daycare but the daycare bugs are very rough on her (and delaying her oxygen weaning). We would like someone who could give her one on one attention so she can excel at her therapies-- a fancy way of saying baby play. :) I would be happy to answer any questions about her or our family.
