Job description
This position is a direct-hire role working for an independent, physically disabled adult male student relocating to Washington, D.C. to pursue a rigorous university curriculum.

Assist with navigating public transportation systems, ensuring safe boarding, transit positioning, and arrival logistics.
Administrative Documentation: Maintain accurate, legible daily logs of all services provided to satisfy compliance guidelines and clear weekly timesheet reconciliation.
