[quote=Anonymous]Hi Op,  a lot depends on the level of your daughter's TBI.

My sister lives in Alexandria and has a 15 year old son with a TBI.  He is able to do things for himself, but he can't be left alone.  He's able to prepare himself a grilled cheese, but he might forget to turn the burners off.  Or he might forget to turn the oven off.  Or he might simply forget he was cooking the sandwich. He can't do laundry unsupervises as he'll forget to put in detergent, run it on the wrong cycle,forget to put it in the dryer, put clothes in the dryer that aren't supposed to go in the dryer, etc.   So he's able to do stuff on his own, but cannot be trusted to be alone.   They have a babysitter/housekeeper who works 35 hrs a week and transports nephew to his morning activity, drops him off and comes home and does some housekeeping.  This amounts to 4 hrs every day, so there is a pretty good amount of housekeeping.   In the afternoon she helps prepare snacks/dinner, helps with some worksheets/activities that are supposed to help my nephew's memory/focus, and a few other things.  They hired her about 3 years ago and they were paying her $20 an hour.  [/quote]
