Teaching Opportunity - One-on-One Instruction in a Home Setting

Meet Our Son

Our son is a bright, happy, and resilient young boy who loves music, stories, and hands-on learning. He has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and is visually impaired, learns best through auditory and tactile approaches, and has a cheerful personality that brightens any room.

We’ve chosen a home-based, individualized approach to support his learning and growth. For the past six years, our family has built a dedicated team of supportive caregivers and educators who share our mission, and part of our hiring process includes connecting directly with this team to ensure the right fit.

We’re looking for a passionate, patient, and creative teacher to help our son thrive academically, socially, and emotionally in a joyful, engaging environment.
