Monday - Friday daytime/evening hours possible for 3-4 hour (or longer) shifts flexible between 9M and 8PM starting now. Work as little as 6 hours per week or as much as 20 hours. Some weekend shifts possible and appreciated Saturdays or Sundays, times and day flexible. I'm happy to schedule shifts for the time and duration that work for you! This could be a set schedule or intermittent hours. Position starts May/June and is ongoing.

Hi, I'm seeking care for my son mostly in our home while I am busy nearby or running an errand. Care may involve enjoying his current hobbies (creating fantasy world games, cozy tv, poker, switch games, coding/AI, walks to the park, building stuff, crafts) alongside my autistic son. There may be times when you bring a book/study while he does his thing nearby and your avaialble for support/questions. My son is smart and has a fun sense of humor but a slow mental processing speed and sensory issues. He benefits from someone who is patience and easy going and can help model regulation and support breaking projects down at his speed.

Please be comfortable with challenging behaviors (this means he can have tantrums that look like a 2 year old would have when he becomes frustrated.) These stem from frustration when he is struggling to recognize/communicate a need and is feeling "uncomfortable." Respite is set up to be low demand, chill time to help minimize struggles.

No experience needed (though it is appreciated); I'm more than happy to train you and stay nearby until a comfort level is reached. You'll be part of his respite team so others may help train you as well and overlap a bit in providing care.

Pay starts at $18 per hour and is paid through Dane County UCP. We have two goldendoodle dogs in the home.

Must be able to drive to our home in Monona. My son struggles with sensory overload so we've found we aren't a good match for smokers, thanks.
