My name is Bethany, and I am currently a fourth year PhD student at Simmons. My four-year-old son was recently approved for Personal Care Services through the Texas Department of State Health Services. Essentially this means that the state will pay for an attendant to assist Jayden with meal times, morning/bedtime routines, doctor appointments, potty training, etc., as well as light housework. Jayden has cerebral palsy, ADHD, global developmental delay, sensory integration irregularity, and some behavioral issues, but he can independently walk and communicate his needs.

 

We are looking for an attendant to assist us 10-15 hours per week. Jayden attends child care during the weekdays, so the attendant would only work 2-3 evenings per week and occasionally on weekends, as well as one-off doctor appointments and during school closures if available. We live in North Arlington. I believe this position would be ideal for an undergraduate or graduate student seeking a career in education or child development, particularly in special education (but not necessary!).

 

If interested, feel free to call/text at 281-796-5661 or email at bethanyedwards2014@gmail.com. Thanks so much!!
