What are some good reliable companies for hiring sitters or nannys for special needs children? As I'm trying to continue to make sure my son has all the therapy and everything we can and need more help.
Have cameras in the home if possible. When my son was younger I used a Home Health Agency. I always requested the older women. The younger ones I wouldn't leave for a second with my son even though I had cameras up.

I’ve used this website in the past and had some luck. My kids were a lot younger then, but I liked the ability to make a job posting and evaluate the applicants. https://www.care.com
I would ask social worker who has most experience or doctor
This is going to depend on where you live and agencies in the area.
