Kiddo attends a self-directed online school so times are very flexible. They are sociable, verbal, and a lot of fun. We would love someone to help organize their learning goals, cook a meal with them (Hello Fresh meal for eg), go to the pool, walk the dog, etc. Specific skills or higher education are not required, just someone who can support my kiddo's journey with enthusiasm and kindness.

Its just difficult for him to be left unsupervised as he likes to eat. note our location, very south west Vancouver in an area called Southlands. Given the shifts, it does not suit someone who needs to commute a long distance. Having a car would help. rate range from $20 to $25 per hour. A 3 hour shift, 3.30 to 6.30 pay $25 per hour. The rate of $25 applies to a typical 3 hour shift during the week. occasionally, for a longer day, say 6 to 8 hours, a rate of $20 per hour. That includes school days off etc.

Hello! In search of a behavioral interventionist that is interested in participating in a 5 year old boy’s home-school program. H was diagnosed with PDA Autism less than a year ago, this has changed our original plans for education. This fall, H will begin a home-school program. He works best at home, and the public school system has been unhelpful in accommodating his needs. Currently H’s student profile is being developed, this will of course be shared with serious applicants. Mainly, H needs a specialized caretaker due to his high emotional needs. 1:1 interaction allows H to maintain a regulated state, which allows him to engage in activities he really loves, such as learning new things. Somedays H is very active and requires lots of energy from his caretaker. Other days he can be a complete opposite, content with listening to podcasts on his headphones and playing alone. Eventually, H becomes comfortable with new caretakers and feels confident going out into the community. He enjoys trips to the park, the beach and bike rides. He is incredibly creative! For art, we use play-dough, paint, markers, glue, tape, stickers, and more. He builds massive creations with legos, magnet tiles, and other toys. H's mom will be home throughout the day, stepping out to pick up H brother from daycare or to run a few errands. At the start of working with H he will require his moms presence in the home to feel comfortable. As a strong emotional bond develops between the caretaker, H will be able to effectively regulate without his moms' presence. Ideally, the individual working with H will be consistent and with him long-term. It is in everyone's best interest to communicate issues such as burnout in order for the bond to be maintained and positive for everyone! We are located in the West End of Vancouver. 3-4 days a week 3-5 hour shifts $20-25 an hour (depending on skill set and stability of position)
