Special Needs Assistant/Mother's Helper/Respite Worker

LM
Active:

We are currently looking for someone to assist with our teenaged son. He has cerebral palsy, and uses a wheelchair. He also has a developmental disability, and functions at the level of a small child, in most aspects. He is a sweet wonderful boy, with a great personality and fabulous sense of humour. He does require assistance in all activities. We are looking for someone to help us out, on a long term basis, (not just for the summer). The hours are negotiable. Summer can be part time, or full time. Once the summer is over, we are hoping to find someone who will be his assistant at a day program close to our home, probably part time, and also work here at home with him......so full time hours between the two places. This could be one person, or split into two positions, so if you are available for some hours, but not all, please drop a line, and we can chat. I am also looking for someone to help out around the house, with some cleaning. This can be the same person, or a different person. I am looking for someone who can keep him busy and happy. You can come up with activities that he will enjoy, go for walks, picnics, watch tv, sit outside, and talk talk talk. I am usually at home to help out with things as well, but have two other kids whom I have to take to practices etc, shopping, and running errands. We never leave anyone alone with our son, until they feel comfortable doing so. We want you to feel a part of the family here. At this time, most personal hygiene care is done by myself and my husband. No special experience is required, I can train here everything that is needed. What is required however, is a responsible, dedicated, kind spirit, and willingness to learn. I can guarantee you that you will be changed by our son, and his wonderful soul. We are a loving family, and easy to get along with. I am home much of the time that you would be here, but need to take the other children to activities, and do things around the home. My son enjoys the company of someone during that time, a "friend". Ideally , I am looking for someone between 19-30, but will consider others as well. I would also prefer someone who would like a longer term position, as my son gets attached to his helpers, and change is hard for him. If you would like to hear more about this position, or think you are interested, please feel free to contact me. We live in Caledon, Ontario. You would require a car to get here, as there is no public transit.
