Seattle, Washington, United States Tri-cities periodontics Full time

Overview

We are seeking a calm, dependable, and experienced caregiver to support our 7-year-old son, Fahad, who is on the autism spectrum. This is a long-term, part-time role designed for someone who values structure, predictability, and meaningful one-on-one care.

This is not a casual babysitting position. We are looking for a professional who takes pride in consistency, communication, and reliability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Pick up Fahad from his home in Seattle and provide attentive care
  • Support daily routines, transitions, meals, and calming activities
  • Provide occasional overnight care
  • Accompany Fahad during select school breaks and holidays
  • Maintain clear, professional communication with parents
  • Create a calm, structured, and supportive environment

Schedule & Predictability

  • Every other weekend (typically 1st & 3rd weekends of the month)
  • Alternating school breaks, including:
  • Thanksgiving
  • Christmas
  • Spring break
  • Midwinter break
  • Schedule provided well in advance

This role is ideal for someone seeking predictable commitments without weekly hours.

Ideal Background

  • Experience with children on the autism spectrum strongly preferred
  • Backgrounds that fit well include:
  • ABA / RBT
  • Special education or paraeducator roles
  • Professional nannies with neurodivergent experience
  • Nursing, psychology, or education students
  • Comfortable with overnight care and occasional travel
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record
  • Calm, patient, emotionally mature, and reliable

Compensation

  • $30–40/hour, depending on experience
  • Overnight rate: $150–250 per night
  • Holiday and travel premiums available
  • Monthly minimum guarantee available for the right candidate

Why This Role Works

This position offers the opportunity to build a trusted, long-term relationship with a wonderful child in a respectful, professional family environment. We value clear expectations, mutual respect, and consistency.
