    Are you someone who leads with kindness, enjoys meaningful connection, and takes pride in helping others live full, independent lives? If so, this may be a wonderful fit.

    We’re looking for a thoughtful and experienced Direct Support Professional to support a warm, funny, and community-oriented woman in her 40s who lives in a beautiful home in Chestnut Hill. She loves staying active, volunteering, and continuing to grow her independence—and she’s looking for someone who will encourage and support her along the way.

    This is a calm, positive environment where your presence truly matters.

    Planning engaging daytime routines and community outings

    Preparing simple, healthy breakfasts and lunches together

    Encouraging movement, activity, and healthy habits

    Assisting with choosing weather-appropriate, stylish outfits

    Offering respectful prompts for personal care when needed

    Supporting volunteer activities and community involvement

    If you enjoy building genuine relationships and helping someone feel capable and connected, you’ll feel right at home here.

    Who You Are

    Warm, patient, and naturally respectful

    Experienced (at least 2 years in caregiving)

    Familiar with supporting adults with IDD

    Reliable, proactive, and able to think creatively

    Able to pass state and federal background checks

    Non-smoker

    Compensation

    Starting at $25/hour, with flexibility based on experience and services provided.

    We’re happy to work with you to choose two consistent weekdays, making this a great opportunity if you’re looking for steady, daytime hours in a supportive, low-stress setting.

    If this sounds like a role where you could make a real difference—and enjoy your work while doing it—we’d truly love to hear from you.
