About This Job

About the Role:

We’re a family seeking a private in-home educator to work with our two young children, ages 3 and 4, in a warm, structured, and engaging environment. Our goal is to raise confident, curious, emotionally intelligent children—and we’re looking for a long-term partner who can nurture their development across all areas: academic, emotional, physical, and creative.

The ideal candidate blends Montessori principles with creative play, early academics, emotional coaching, and physical activity, tailoring their approach to each child's personality and growth needs.

Responsibilities:

•

Design and lead daily learning sessions rooted in early childhood education best practices (Montessori preferred)

•

Facilitate early reading, math, and sensory development through structured and play-based methods

•

Guide emotional learning—helping our kids understand, label, and manage their feelings

•

Introduce music, art, storytelling, movement, and curiosity-based exploration

•

Reinforce good habits: patience, kindness, personal responsibility, and confidence

•

Collaborate with parents on progress, strategies, and evolving routines

•

Maintain a safe, respectful, and joyful learning environment

Preferred Qualifications:

•

Montessori certification (AMS, AMI, or equivalent) or strong alignment with Montessori/Waldorf philosophy

•

Degree or significant experience in Early Childhood Education, Child Psychology, or Development

•

3+ years working with children ages 2–5

•

Experience working with multiple children at once

•

Creative, playful, and organized

•

Comfortable with light routines like setting up learning areas or helping with snack transitions

•

CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to become)

Schedule:

•

3–5 sessions per week, ideally during morning hours

•

Each session: 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on candidate availability and family needs

Total: 8–15 hours/week, with flexibility built into the schedule

Why Work With Us:

You’ll be joining a values-driven family committed to excellence, growth, and creating a nurturing environment for our children. We treat this position as a long-term collaboration, not just a job. You’ll have autonomy, appreciation, and the chance to deeply influence two bright young minds.
