NATIONWIDE SEARCH! LOS ANGELES, CA (Weho) - Amazing family in the entertainment industry (comedy writers) looking for a FULL-TIME FAMILY ASSISTANT / NANNY HYRBID for their two boys ages 4 and 6 years old! Their boys are the best of friends & love each other and love hanging out and playing ninja turtles. They love superheroes and rarely do crafts, but prefer to play fight. But they are very gentle and like to play being doggies and being treated like babies sometimes. Their 4-year-old is hilarious and empathetic and fun, very advanced in language. He can be very stubborn at times but generally a good time. Their 6-year-old is autistic and can be tricky. He's loving and communicative. However, his speech is delayed and he can get frustrated and it's hard for him to communicate what is wrong. He has difficulty in social scenarios but is very popular with other kids and likes to play with them.
