We are looking for a second set of hands to help us with our two young adult sons with special needs during S/Su mornings. Our oldest son is 24 and has CP. We will need help dressing and feeding him (he is non ambulatory and non-verbal and is tube fed and wears diapers). Weather permitting, he loves going on walks. Our other son is 21 and has Autism. He is just looking for a weekend buddy. Someone to play games with, do art projects with chat about lots of things with, etc. Parents will be home the whole time. You must ideally have experience with people with special needs, or willing to learn. Must be kind and patient and willing to become certified as a care provider in Arizona. We are open to folks who are available only during the summer but would love someone who could stay beyond. We live in the Catalina Foothills area.
