Job Summary
We are looking for an individual with a comfortable down to earth personality to help us with life. We have 3 children, one of which is on the spectrum. He is delightful, yet if you don’t know how to speak his language (figuratively, literally we speak English, but I mean his emotional language) it can be hard to manage the day. This is why I need someone to help who can just check their ego at the door and be open to learn from me in this arena. Aside from that we need help with the nuts and bolts of running the house. Groceries, laundry, cleaning and tyding, and sometimes just running A simple errand.
We need someone accountable, that we can depend on to be available and in good health. We are flexible with your schedule, don’t try to call and tell us you can’t make it in with a laundry list of plausible but untrue excuses. We will always respect you for honesty, but mistrust grows really quickly if you try to decieve me. If you have the type of personality to be honest if you’re tired and need some extra time offI really value that, I will bend over backwards to give you rest if you need it, because you will be helping me with things that are most important to me. Don’t try to tell me you have a slipped disk or a migraine. I have both of those and I still go to work. I expect that kind of maturity, if you have that type of bravery, we’re going to be very helpful to eachother.
Duties
- Help getting kids dressed, fed, ready for school.
- Help prepare food. Help Grocery shopping. Direction will be provided, and you’re not required to be a Michelin starred chef. This is simple preparation, nothing fancy is expected.
- Maintain cleanliness in the home environment by tidying up after activities and managing laundry as required.
- Provide care for children with disabilities, adapting activities to meet their unique needs. For example, dont let the younger kids destroy the older Autistic child’s creative tower of cards. (This is a literal example) then find a way to convince the creator of the tower to put it away. *Good luck* this is not for the faint of heart.
- Communicate effectively with parents regarding behavior, and any concerns that may arise. Yes, narc on the kids to us. We’re probably gonna have a camera in the room anyway.
- Foster positive relationships with children by being attentive, patient, and supportive in their daily routines.
- Don’t ask us if your friends boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife can come over until we trust you. Or in other words this is a work place and we expect you to treat our Home with respect, and when we’re paying you, your time is to be devoted to the job.
Experience
- we don’t require experience, we just require work ethic, and honesty. Even though this is a solitary “household job” it’s paid work and I expect you to function as if you have a boss watching you, if you work this way, I will pay you more than what you can make anywhere else with no education or training.
- I’m actually a really kind, thoughtful intelligent and understanding person. I’m just really sick of hiring people to help me and have them turn out to be dishonest, and treat the time I’ve asked them to be working like they aren’t being paid to be there. I think that’s fair.
- I promise I’m not a total B*** really. I just work really hard, so does my husband. I need someone to help us and not slowly take advantage of my kindness.
- Please feel free to text me any questions at seven seven eight, eight seven five, seven one six eight.
