The Role
This position centers on caring for the twins and supporting their afternoon routines. One of the boys has developmental differences and currently requires assistance with mobility and positioning. He is described by the family as gentle and easygoing, and responds well to calm, attentive care.
The ideal candidate will be comfortable providing occasional physical support, including lifting or repositioning him (approximately 40 lbs), and will approach this work with patience, kindness, and confidence.
