Caregiver for Autistic Adult

Folsom CA

Description

We are looking for an overnight caregiver Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from 9pm-9am. To help with our 25 year old Autistic son. We both work full-time and need to be able to sleep peacefully knowing he will be taken care of if he should wake up or need help in the night. He usually goes to sleep between 9-10pm everyday and wakes up between 5am-7am everyday. It is mainly an asleep overnight position. Most of your shift will be spent asleep. Except if he may get up in the middle of the night which is rare, but does happen. We mainly need help in the evening if he is still awake at 9pm and in the AM when he wakes up early. Most of the time he will probably already be asleep when you get here. We are looking for someone smart, kind and easy going who will be patient and understanding. He is completely non-violent, loving and very sweet. He has a hard time in the morning and can get grumpy and loud, but is never physical or harmful to others. He needs a companion in the AM to help him wake up, do a little OT and stretching and start his day off on the right foot. Job duties: -Medication Administration -Make sure he is safe -Simple OT stretches and movements (we will show you) -Simple meal prep -light house keeping IF needed (kitchen, dishes, make sure bathroom is sanitary) You have your own room and bed, TV, computer and air conditioning located in the caregivers office. As well as bathroom and shower if needed. Your main job is to be a kind companion and help him feel calm and comfortable in the morning. If this sounds like a good fit please send us a message. We do require a valid drivers license and background check with no criminal history. MUST be at least 21 years of age. No exceptions.
