They shower him with warmth and kindness in response to his sweetness and loving spirit and help him access his favorite activities. These include going to the pool, beach, parks and nature centers, visiting stores, and listening to live music and other in-town activities. Adam can express his needs and feelings quite well despite being nonverbal. He also understands directions fairly well and is cooperative. However, he does need support with personal care including toileting (wiping) and bathing.
Additional key requirements include:
Having an open heart and being very engaging, energetic and attentive Some care giving experience, preferably involving special needs A Bachelors or higher degree preferably in social work, nursing/healthcare, or education Ability to recruit, train and manage a small staff Ability to advocate and help sustain funding for Adam’s services Enjoy being physically active Willing to fill-in for absent caregivers Essentially, we’re looking for someone who has the potential to take over for us (his parents). This means you could eventually become Adam’s guardian and/or he would begin to live with you in a few years. To determine whether this would work well, we’ll need to see how strong a relationship you can develop with Adam and also really understand your nature and capabilities. Obtaining this insight will take some time. Also, you’ll need time to decide whether this position really is a great fit for you. Therefore, initially, you’ll serve as a caregiver while you learn about Adam’s program and services. The position can be either full-time or part-time. During this trial period that will be less than a year you’ll have a chance to develop a real bond with Adam and learn more about his nature and needs. If all goes well, your pay and responsibilities will increase after the trial period as you begin shifting into the caregiver manager role. Your salary would increase further when you become Adam’s guardian and/or he begins to live with you. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks much for considering our position!
