Schedule: We are looking for someone who will support our son 3 times a week, on weekdays, 4-5 hours per day (.i.e. a total of 15 hours per week + an additional hour of paid planning.) Typically, the hours are 10:30 AM till 3:30PM, but there is some flexibility. Additional hours may become available in the future.
Pay: $23.00 to $24.00 per hour.
Location: We live in the Yonge/Clark area in Thornhill.
