EH146 - Part-Time Educator - NYC

Overview

A family in New York City is seeking a candidate who has a strong background in early childhood education to support their school-age children. The schedule will be 30 hours per week guaranteed. This is a Monday through Friday role with hours generally being 2pm-8pm with occasional additional hours as needed. The family has three elementary school-age children who are in full-time school. This role is to provide support, structure, and assist with their education. The family would like the candidate to be highly educated, ideally with a background in early childhood education/development.

The parents feel strongly about developing the children's emotional intelligence, as well as broader values (i.e. be loving, be kind, be polite, be considerate, be gracious). The candidate must hold these same values and be aligned in philosophy. The children are very active and enjoy sports, and the parents would like the candidate to be like-minded, ideally with a focus on health and wellness.

The family prefers a live-out arrangement. They may relocate within the city in the future, so the candidate should be flexible with commute changes, as they are looking for longevity with their family. The role is to start as soon as possible, but they are willing to wait for the right person.
