Caregiver for special needs boy

We are looking for a fun-loving energetic caregiver companion for our 7-year-old special needs son. He is a double amputee with an anoxic (without oxygen) brain injury. He was a healthy smart vibrant fun-loving boy until he was struck with a near fatal sepsis infection at 3 1 2 years old. He is still all the things I described but now is trapped in a body devastated by sepsis. He is now healthy but requires much care. He lost his ability of meaningful speech since the insult but he continues to try to communicate. He is dependent on an adult for all tasks of daily living. The position to be filled requires lifting and positioning a 45 pound child throughout a shift feeding stretching entertaining activities standing swinging taking him for walks changing diapers assistance with potty training (have already started) etc. There is always a family member at home to assist you when needed. The schedule consists of Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9am-3pm. Pay is 12 per hour taxes are withheld as payroll is conducted through an agency.
