NEED CAREGIVER FOR HIGHLY AUTISTIC ADULT (URGENT!)

I'm in need of someone who can care and provide transportation for my sister. She's considered highly autistic (she can't take care of herself without the help of others), is echolalic (repeats everything people say, and uses phrases referenced from videos, books, signs, and other places). She's able to walk and do most things with some guidence. Easterseals/MORC helps provide resources and experienced employees to provide the care that are paid by them. They pay for your services, but I'll be your employer that provides the onsite training, goal planning, and schedule. You'll report to me for anything you need. Her caregiver has been authorized to work 40 hours ($21.50) a week for CLS (engaging in activities related to her planned goals like washing her hands or putting away groceries). Respite (babysitting at home or taking her out somewhere without working on goals) will be ($18.77) a week. We're still waiting on the authorized amount of hours that'll be, so there's potential to be able to work more hours if desired.

Background Info

I was awarded full gaurdianship last month since our dad was proven to be severely neglecting her. She has lived most of her life left home alone. Our dad and her computer were the center of her world. So transitioning to a new place, new diet, being showered every day, and being introduced to more people and places, has been overstimulating for her.

Her last caregiver has been inconsistent with being on time, no shows, and decided to quit without notice. You MUST be on time during the week. I have to work full-time and need to be there.

She has a history of being aggressive and violent. There hasn't been any issues with her last caregiver, but I feel that anyone who's applying to this job should know about her history and be prepared whenever it happens again. She mainly resorts to hitting her face, tipping herself backwards on a chair, and crying/screaming loudly until she calms down or falls asleep (30 min). She's a lot to handle when she's overstimulated, but this has been a pattern whenever she goes into a different house. Moving in with me was very traumatic for her, and it took a week and her meds being adjusted to help her improve (which she has made tremendous progress since then).

Her new caregiver is expected to work with her on her goals (washing her hands properly, washing her hair and body without assistance, getting dressed, making her bed, ect). Providing her medications on time, making all of her meals, assisting with basic hygienic needs, engaging with her on fun activities other than chores, providing transportation to her doctor appointments, and group home visits. You will be paid for gas mileage and be provided with additional funds for errands and outside activities.

We live in Troy, and her potential group home is in Ortonville. With the behavioral issues she showed on the first trial day, it's not certain if she'll be accepted for placement there. However, the CEO of the organization wants to work with her a bit more considering that she's had a traumatic past and that it takes time to adjust to the real world. If placement becomes permanent, you can still work with her there, and your schedule will become more flexible since the staff are able to supervise her.

If you've made it this far and are still interested, then let's meet you asap! You could potentially start in a few days after your interview and employee paperwork is submitted for processing. If you want me to take your offers seriously, YOU MUST INCLUDE A RESUME THAT SHOWS YOUR EXPERIENCE AND TELL ME WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU THE BEST PERSON FOR THIS POSITION. Just telling me that you're interested or only submitting your resume as a response will automatically be denied. We hope to meet you soon
