About her: She is 21 years old and is completely awesome! To know her is to love her! She is diagnosed with STXBP1, which is a genetic change on the 9th chromosome. Because of this, she is non-verbal, globally developmentally delayed, and more like a small child, even though she looks typical. She uses some sign language and her iPad to communicate. She also wears diapers. She is very healthy and has no major medical issues. She uses a wheelchair or walker outside of the home but uses a walker or handhold to get around our home. Most of her time is spent just hanging out and playing on her iPad or with her toys. She is not aggressive at all. In the summer she spends as much time as she can out on the deck listening to music or on our beach playing in the sand.
About you: We need someone who is clean, caring, respectful, patient, fun and energetic. Who enjoys playing and interacting. Coloring, play-doh, barbies, potato head, etc. You also need to be willing to do clothing changes, showering, diapering, toileting, feeding, etc. We are registered with MRCI and her pay rate is $20-$25 per hour depending on how much online training you have completed.
