Family and Household Dynamics

A peek behind the front door...

Children's Ages: Care will be for two school-aged children, ages 9 and 6.
About the Children:
  • The family's 9-year-old son is bright, curious, and imaginative. He is twice-exceptional (ADHD, mild Autism Spectrum Disorder, and highly gifted) and thrives with structure, consistency, and patient, proactive caregivers. He benefits from support with transitions, social skills, and emotional regulation, and the family is looking for someone who can build a strong relationship while fostering his independence.
  • Their 6-year-old daughter is kind, energetic, and highly social. She can be a bit shy at first and tends to be a perfectionist, but she flourishes with encouragement, positive reinforcement, and a nurturing caregiver.
About the Family:
  • Dual work-from-home parents with private office spaces. They occasionally work outside of the home.
About the Pets:
  • The family has one sweet, older hypoallergenic dog. Responsibilities may occasionally include taking the dog for a walk and a trip to the groomer. 
Additional Notes:
  • They are seeking a long-term, trusted professional who will become an extension of their family. The family has previously had wonderful experiences with caregivers who were patient, kind, flexible, and truly understood how to support neurodivergent children.
