About the Role
Schedule: Mondays and Wednesdays, 2:30-4:30pm
Description: 10.5 -year-old boy. Mom would like someone to spend as much time outside with him as possible. Looking for a DSP that is compassionate and nurturing, vaccinated for COVID, and able to provide transportation. Mom would like someone who is active and won't just sit and watch the client but will run around and play with him outside. The client understands simple sentences; he can only say yes or no. He also communicates through body language and a communication device. He will sometimes run off, so DSP needs to be watching him at all times while outside, as well as be aware of possible exits. If he gets frustrated, he will sometimes scratch. Mom does not want DSP to provide any bathroom support to the client, and will be home during the visits to support.
Requirements
Daily Requirements:
Scheduling – each DSP has a set schedule with the assigned client(s)
Smart phone – use a cell phone to clock in/out for visits and complete the daily progress notes.
