• Support families in navigating day-to-day challenges with compassion and professionalism

What You Bring

• High school diploma required, bachelor's degree in education or a related field preferred
• Experience working with children in any setting (teaching, caregiving, tutoring-all welcome!)
• A valid driver's license, access to a vehicle, and current auto insurance
• Comfort working in various environments-home, community, sometimes on the move
• A flexible, teachable attitude and a team-player mindset

Why Join Us?

• Mission-driven culture that values people first
• Robust paid time off to support work-life balance
• Paid holidays and your birthday off
