Family and Household Dynamics

A peek behind the front door...

Children's Ages: Care will be for two adult boys who are both 21 years old.

About the Children:

The role as the Family Assistant will be to tag team with mom, the twins, and the household.
These lovely young men are 21 years old (turning 22 in August) and have Level 3 autism. They are sweet-natured, generally happy at home, and thrive in a calm, predictable environment. They respond well to consistency and clear cues from a caregiver.
Both young men can use the restroom independently and can dress themselves; however, due to safety concerns, they can not be left unattended.
They are both non-verbal and communicate primarily through body language, behavioral cues, and assistive technology (communication iPad). A caregiver who is attentive and comfortable reading these cues is important.
Mom would love to find a partner who can accompany them on fun outings such as visiting Water World.

About the Family:

Dad works full-time outside the home while Mom is home full-time with the boys.

About the Pets:

There is one sweet 18-pound dog in the home. Occasional walks will be needed for him.

Additional Notes:

Depending on the day, you may be engaging with the boys—supervising while they relax at home, assisting with meals or transitions, or encouraging low-key activities—or you may focus more on household tasks if mom chooses to spend quality time with them.
Flexibility, kindness, and a team-player attitude are key in this role.

Rated 5 out of 5

As a self-represented nanny for the last 8 years, I can say that I will never look for a new family without ABC again! I recently moved across the country and was very worried about finding the right family long distance…ABC was there every step of the way and made the whole process hassle free. I would recommend them to any career nanny looking for a great family, or for any family looking for a great nanny.

I have had the privilege of working with the first-rate staff at ABC Nannies in my job search and placement, as a Nanny and House Manager. Personal experience in this field, for over forty years, led me to seek the services of a placement agency with parallel experience and exceptional reputation. I have not been disappointed! ...I highly recommend working with them.

This company is worth their weight in GOLD! ABC is the most valuable asset to my housekeeping career, truly. Without them I would not be the success I am today. The families they represent are tip of the top, cream of the crop. They have matched me with families that I will keep in touch with for the rest of my life…and they just connected me with another super awesome family! I will be forever grateful.

It has been a true blessing to work for ABC Nannies. I know they have my best interest at heart and I could not be happier with my current position as a nanny and personal assistant to a wonderful family! I have worked for both their temporary service and full time placement service and have always had a great experience with the staff. Their customer service is top-notch and they are the best in Colorado!

My experience as a nanny with ABC Nannies has been nothing short of amazing! They are communicative, supportive, kind, and so helpful with finding amazing placements for both the nanny and the family. They are there to answer any questions, check in with how you’re feeling and if you’re happy with your placement, showing genuine care for everyone involved.

Working with ABC Nannies & Domestics has been a dream! ...I was recruited out of state and did quite a bit of research before choosing an agency I knew I could trust. I wanted to be represented by an agency with an exemplary reputation and ABC Nannies and Domestics has that in spades. I’m looking forward to working with them for many years.
