Household dynamic:
- This dynamic and loving family is excited to welcome a private educator to support their middle son’s education! At 10 years old, their son has had a very positive experience with homeschooling and the family is ready to elevate his learning by finding a private educator with experience teaching and creating a stimulating, project-based curriculum to supplement their current program. His parents describe him as being a quiet and reserved boy who has a healthy imagination and a love of science and engineering. Their son has dyslexia and ADD, so a candidate who brings applicable experience teaching children with learning differences and a compassionate, supportive presence is key! The family also has a 12-year-old son who attends a boarding school in Miami and a 7-year-old son who attends an international school near their home in the Cayman Islands. Their youngest son is a high-energy, bright boy and the family hopes that this candidate will be able to provide after-school care for him.
- These dual-career parents both work primarily from home and are in and out of the house regularly throughout the day. They travel frequently, spending one week per month in Miami and taking trips during school breaks! They are eager to have a candidate join them on their travels and provide consistency in learning for their son.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for someone who is passionate about teaching through experiential or project-based learning. A candidate with experience supporting children with learning differences and who can help build their self-esteem around learning by bringing energy and engagement to each day will be valued. This family would love to work with an educator who has strong planning, organization, and communication skills and can develop a solid plan for each week and discuss it with the parents ahead of time.
- Responsibilities include guiding the child through his homeschool curriculum and supplementing the curriculum with projects, experiments, and other hands-on learning opportunities! A candidate who can structure the daily learning schedule in a way that works for both the child and the teacher will thrive in this role. Additional responsibilities include picking up the youngest child from school and driving him to extracurricular activities, traveling with the family to Miami each month, engaging with and providing care for the younger son and the middle son after school, and providing nanny and/or family assisting support during the summer months when school is not in session.
- While not a requirement for this position, the family would love to work with a candidate who possesses a Bachelor’s degree and/or speaks Spanish.
Qualifications:
- At least 3 years of professional teaching experience in a classroom or homeschool setting
- Valid driver’s license and passport
- Knowledge and experience with elementary school-age children
- Fully vaccinated and boosted (when eligible) against COVID-19 prior to the start date in accordance with applicable laws
