About Me- Tell your story
A warm, welcoming, and highly supportive family in the Appleton area is seeking an friendly, energetic caregiver to provide in-home respite for their 4-year-old. This sweet, giggly, and affectionate little guy is autistic, nonverbal and has a developmental delay. While he doesn't use spoken language as of now, he is incredibly friendly, and excellent at communicating his choices- he will easily show his caregiver what he wants to do and where he wants to go!
This family strongly believes in nurturing his independence. They are looking for a dedicated caregiver who loves to follow a child's lead, stay fully engaged in one-on-one activities, and match his active on-the-go energy. This is a wonderful opportunity to work with a truly appreciative family and make a meaningful difference in a delightful child's daily routine.
