Assist with early literacy and math skills (Kate Snow books & Hooked on Phonics).
Light child-related tasks (organizing learning materials, tidying play areas).
Encourage problem-solving, critical thinking, and social development.
Prepare simple meals/snacks and reinforce healthy eating habits.
Ensure consistency in routines, including limiting sugar to help with behavioral regulation.
Maintain a safe, nurturing environment while balancing the needs of two children at different learning levels.
Ideal Candidate:
Experience in childcare, education, or homeschooling preferred.
Creative, patient, and highly organized in balancing multiple activities.
Able to adapt lessons and activities to different learning styles.
Strong communication skills and collaborative approach with parents.
Comfortable handling occasional outings (museums, nature centers, etc.).
CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to obtain).
Perks:
Paid prep time (2 hours/week) for planning activities.
Opportunities for educational outings to museums, science centers, and libraries.
A supportive, warm work environment with a family that values education.
