What quailities would you look for if you had to hire staff to take care of your disabled child?
My son is 8 years old with Autism and I have recently been given the opportunity to hire direct care staff to come in and work with him in all aspects of his life. The person will be taking care of all personal needs (toileting, bathing, dressing) transporting to therapy sessions, cooking and cleaning up after him. I will be home a lot of the time, but there will be alot of time when I will not be around (ie when I am at work and activities with my other child) so I have to find someone that I will be able to trust with a child who is mostly non-verbal. I have never had to hire people to watch him before, except the young lady who is currently working with him while I am at work. To those of you who have gone thru this before, what should I look for to find high quality people, I want to have low turn over so I want to do the best that I can to hire the right people the first time around.
Look at the agency itself first. Make sure that the person has prior experience and references from other families that they have worked with so that you can contact them and find out how they feel about that person and why they no longer work for that family. Ask his doctor if he knows of any agenices that he or she could refer you to.
