Special Needs Caregiver

Folsom CA

Description

We are looking for a part-time caregiver for our adult son with Autism. He is 25 years old and very sweet but does need constant supervision. We have full-time day staff, but he/ we need a bit more help in the evening while we finish up work. the evening shift is much more relaxed than the day shift. He typically does most of his outings in the morning and early afternoon with his day staff. The evening shift would be making sure he is safe and has someone to talk to (you) and interact with, cook, and hang out with. Help pick up the house/ his areas. Make sure he gets his nighttime meds and brushes his teeth before he goes to bed/ or before you leave. He is very interactive and very sweet. He is not aggressive towards others AT ALL and never has been. He does get lonely so we ask that you make interacting with him a priority. The job itself does not require much physically, but we do ask that you are an upbeat, friendly, and kind person. That is EXTREMELY important to us. He needs help and supervision with most things, but he does a pretty good job completing tasks with help. "R" is a very silly, talkative, and kind young man. He LOVES Disney and watching all things Disney. He enjoys going to the park, eating out (chili's, OSF, and Papa Johns to name a few!), and cheese! He LOVES cheese... cheese sticks, cheese pizza, Mac and cheese... you name it! He also enjoys Hanging out with his cousins and his caregiver's little nephew, checking out the birds at Petco, walking around Target, and getting mini M&M's from Walmart. His best friend is his caregiver of 20 years and his Mama! He gives the best hugs and always knows when you need to be cheered up! Hope to hear from you! The position is 20 hours a week minimum; Monday-Thursday 4-8 pm and Fridays 1-5 pm (Fridays can be flexible if needed) Must be 21 years or older Must pass DOJ background check
