Start Date: ASAP through Sept. 18, 2026.
Key Responsibilities:
From 2:30 PM until 3:45 PM, engage our 5-year-old in fun and educational activities while his sister naps, including outdoor play, weather-permitting.
From 3:45 PM onwards, work with Mom to manage both children and assist with the early evening transition, including providing snack for our daughter, keeping our 5-year-old busy with structured play, and bathtime.
Qualifications & Requirements:
Proven experience working with children with ASD, speech delays, sensory processing needs, or related developmental profiles. Experience as an RBT (Registered Behavior Technician), line therapist, or special education aide is highly preferred.
A calm, patient demeanor combined with the playful energy needed to keep up with an active 5-year-old.
Must be willing to provide a minimum of two professional childcare references and undergo a comprehensive background check (TrustLine registration / Live Scan fingerprinting preferred).
