About The Job

Job details: Full-time
$24 per hour

We're seeking an experienced, compassionate babysitter to provide daily care for our 11-year-old son in Chicago.

**About Your Role:**

You'll be the primary caregiver for our son during school hours and after-school time. Your responsibilities include:

• Transporting him to and from school

• Providing supervision and care until I arrive home from work

• Supporting his emotional and developmental needs

**About Our Son:**

Our son has Autism, ADHD, and well-controlled Epilepsy (managed by medication). He's never been cared for by someone outside our family, so this is a significant transition. Your experience and patience with neurodivergent children will be essential to his comfort and success.

**Living Situation:**

We live in a small apartment with my mother, who has been his primary caregiver since birth. She'll be at home but has limited mobility, so you'll be the main point of contact.

**Schedule:**

• Monday - Friday, 7:00am - 5:00pm

• Flexible start date

• $22-$26/hour based on experience

**What We're Looking For:**

• Proven experience working with children on the Autism spectrum

• Patient, empathetic, and reliable

• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

• First Aid certification and background check required

If you're ready to make a meaningful difference in our son's life, we'd love to hear from you!
