Part-Time Family Support / Community Buddy - Lewis Center, OH
A caring family in Lewis Center is seeking a kind, patient, and engaging support person for their 10-year-old autistic son. He is well-behaved, friendly, and a joy to be around. We're hoping to find someone who can be a positive "buddy," supporting him as he builds social skills, confidence, and meaningful connections in the community.
Schedule:
Weekday evenings: 4:00-7:30 PM
Occasional Saturday or Sunday hours (flexible)
What the Role Looks Like:
Engaging him in community outings and activities
Supporting social interaction and communication in natural settings
Taking him swimming and participating in fun, age-appropriate activities
Encouraging independence through play and shared experiences
Providing calm, consistent, and respectful support
About Him:
Friendly, gentle, and cooperative
Enjoys reading, sensory toys, and hands-on activities
Thrives with positive encouragement and clear routines
Who We're Looking For:
Someone warm, reliable, and patient
Experience with children and/or autism is a plus (but not required for the right person)
Comfortable being active and engaging in the community
A genuine interest in building a trusting, supportive relationship
This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who enjoys working with children, values inclusion, and wants to make a meaningful difference in a child's daily life. We're excited to welcome someone who will become a supportive and encouraging presence for our son.
If you'd like, I can also tailor this for Care.com, Facebook groups, or a more casual or more professional tone
