BABYSITTER NEEDED!! (Surrey/Langley – Clayton Heights Area)

We're looking for a playful, trustworthy babysitter for our almost 5 year old with ASD. No set schedule, just the odd day/evening in our home. Ideally SOME experience/familiarity with spectrum kids – in a perfect world with nonverbal ones. Awesome for maybe an older sibling or younger student looking to work as a BI later on.

No ABA therapy required, just have fun! Kiddo loves music, reading, trains & puzzles. He's a blast to hang out with (granted I'm a little biased) & everyone who meets him falls in love with him.

Please e-mail if you are interested, or have a recommendation: christine.long@live.com

We recently implemented a new home therapy program and are looking for 1-2 candidates who have previous experience working with children diagnosed with autism. Areas of concentration for our 5-year-old son are focused on acquiring communication skills as well as social skills.

Times of intervention we are looking to fill are the following:
Mondays 5:30-7:30pm
Thursdays 5:30-7:30pm
Fridays 5:30-7:30pm (chance of an earlier session due to early dismissal from school)
Saturdays 5:30-7:30pm
Sundays 5:30-7:30pm

The behavioral interventionist will conduct sessions 2 days a week (minimum) and may obtain a 3rd day, dependent on the number of BI's hired for the team.
Please send a cover letter and resume ONLY if you have BI experience and are able to meet the session requirements (days & time).

{Hello FEAT Readers}

The time has come again: We need a new line therapist for our team in central Vancouver. Our eleven-year-old daughter is high functioning, verbal, affectionate, and very entertaining. Her therapy is fascinating, and her progress is consistent. She has been doing ABA therapy for nine years.

We work under the guidance of Kim Kirsch and the Early Autism Project, a home-based ABA program. Training will be provided by our current lead, who is amazing. (You are in luck.)

You need to be fun, responsible, dedicated, and creative. You should have strong play skills, a positive attitude, and lots of energy and patience. You are a good multi-tasker, are organized, encouraging, enthusiastic, and responsible. Previous experience with ABA programs is a plus, but as long as you seem bright, caring, and capable, we are interested. A criminal record check will be obligatory.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: picking our daughter up from school, recording data, facilitating playdates, helping with home living skills, and helping her with fine and gross motor challenges.

You would have three sessions a week that run from 3:00 to 5:50, and would need to attend a team meeting, held once a month, from 5:00 to 6:30.

If you are interested, please send your resume to:
cathy.fitzhugh@gmail.com

We look forward to hearing from you.

{Thanks}
