I am seeking a responsible mother's helper/ sitter for my 14 year old who is developmentally around 10 and on the autism spectrum. She's a total sweetheart, loves babysitters and is pretty easy. I am looking for someone M-Th after school for 2-3 hours to help me at home so that everything can get done and she can get more attention. Housework wise, I'd like someone who can fold laundry when my daughter is doing something with me or napping which she often does for a bit after school. I am also looking for some new sitters so I can go out periodically, mostly on weekens. We have two very sweet non shedding dogs. The job will mostly be a little food, a little tv, a little crafting and some legos. My daughter also spends a lot of time playing alone. It's easy and fun.
