As you  say you are desperate so if you need to keep your job, can you just make do with whatever TLC is for this summer?  Otherwise, I would go on Sitter City or Care.com and only look for college students  or young teachers who are now home and may be looking for summer Nanny jobs.  If he is a handful, I would go for two students so if one quits, you would at least have some coverage.  Or could you try taking Wednesday off to give the person a mid-week break - if needed.

Be completely upfront with the  student on his behavior.  I would take the time to write down the routines that work best for him throughout the day.  I would share as much as possible on the behaviors he may exhibit, how to deal with them and clearly what does not work.

I would create a day which would keep him as calm as possible even if it is not that ideal for learning.  In other words pretty much what he enjoys doing. Perhaps if he can experience as little stress as possible, he will start to calm down and come around a bit.  I would have a cash bonus if the sitter completes the summer as agreed upon.

Meantime, do you think that your son has been getting the right kind of a program to deal with his emotional and behavioral issues.  If you do not think his placement and IEP is correct, then you really may want to line up an advocate because until he gets in control of himself, behavior will need to be the focus.
