Full job description

Looking for an occasional sitter for a few hours here and there. The Kids: You HAVE to have genuine patience and real experience with autistic children. My 6yo son is nonverbal and can get aggressive at times toward himself, his tablet, or whatever he can find when frustrated. Close supervision is a must. On the flip side, my almost 3yo daughter is an absolute piece of cake! (Heads-up: watch them carefully because they love to play in the dog bowls!). The Dog: We have a sweet, gentle senior Lab mix. He just needs to be let out the back door sometimes. You just have to ask him, "Do you want to go potty?" and he's good to go. If you have the patience and experience, let's chat!
