Caregiver/Companion Needed

Posted on by

Description: My husband and I are looking for a caregiver/companion for our 19-year-old son, Adrien, who has Down syndrome and other medical conditions. He requires assistance in several areas, including walking, entertainment, and self-care. We are seeking a candidate who can support him on weekends — ideally for either a full day or a half day.

Adrien requires a lot of help with anything fine-motor related, so that includes help in the bathroom and with bathing/brushing teeth, and getting clothed. Especially interested in speaking with anyone who has experience and the right skills/demeanor!

Pay: $25-$30/hr 

Contact: If interested, please reach out to Jeremy Silver: 978-944-5310.
