Household Dynamic:
- Based in Marin County, this family is both laidback and bustling as a dual-career household with two teenagers! The parents describe their 17-year-old son as being very kind and active. He attends a local specialized school during the week, and the educator will be joining him during the school day to provide support as an educational aide. When he’s not in school, he enjoys being around people, playing games, tennis, watching movies, and especially loves reading princess stories. The family loves to travel when they have the opportunity, and have a big summer adventure to Geneva, Switzerland planned this July! They look forward to their educator joining them on their many travels, especially in Switzerland this July, where a candidate will have an opportunity to receive on-the-job training and be a beam of support for their son in new environments.
- This family is currently supported by another Adventure Nannies educator and are excited to find a candidate who can join the team in fostering independence for their son and ensuring continuity in both school and home environments. Both parents will be working in and out of the home, and enjoy adding another educator who is self-starting, patient, energetic, compassionate, and team-minded.
Ideal Candidate:
- This position is ideal for a candidate who has experience working with children on the ASD spectrum in both a home and educational environment. A candidate with a background in behavioral training and who understands sensory processing will be key!
- A true team player who is confident interacting in an interdisciplinary environment and liaising with teachers, therapists, other staff, and parents will be appreciated. Other responsibilities include developing home program goals and keeping records, working with the family assistant on a nutritional plan, and attending weekly meetings with parents and therapists. The candidate must be able to follow protocols for interventions and possess the ability to work independently. An experienced educator/aide who brings a calm competence to their role, and is excited to step in and out to foster independence will be an asset to the family’s team for years to come!
- While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate with teaching credentials or a behavioral certification (RBT, BCAT, or ABAT). The candidate will have additional opportunities for training while on the job!
Qualifications:
- At least 3 years of professional experience teaching in a classroom or homeschool setting and/or childcare experience
- At least 2+ years of experience working with children or teens in the ASD community
- Bachelor’s degree
- Valid driver’s license and passport
- Flexible to travel with the family as needed
