Seeking a Dedicated and Compassionate Female Live-In Caregiver
We are looking for a dedicated, compassionate, patient, and caring female live-in caregiver to provide full-time support and assistance to our 16-year-old son, Julian, who has a disability and requires comprehensive personal care and daily support.
Julian has a chromosomal translocation and autism. He is non-verbal and unable to walk independently and therefore requires assistance with his daily personal care and activities. He is not medically fragile and eats a regular diet; however, he requires assistance with feeding.
The ideal caregiver will be compassionate, patient, attentive, and comfortable providing hands-on personal care while ensuring Julian’s safety, comfort, dignity, and emotional well-being.
