Homeschool Teacher / Family Assistant

Homeschool Teacher/Family Assistant — 3 Kids (3rd, 5th, 8th Grade)

Role Overview

The Homeschool Teacher/Family Assistant is a full-time, long-term role supporting the homeschool education, activities, and daily rhythm of our three children, currently in 3rd, 5th, and 8th grade. This role involves planning and delivering daily instruction tailored to each child's grade level and learning style, coordinating with outside tutors and specialists, and keeping the kids purposefully engaged through enrichment activities. The right person also helps manage the broader logistics of a busy household — schedules, activity coordination, and day-to-day family support.

We're a busy, active family seeking someone who genuinely enjoys working closely with kids but also excels at organization, coordination, and keeping a busy household moving.

The Person We're Looking For

The right person is:

• Dependable and exceptionally trustworthy
• Organized, proactive, and able to think several steps ahead
• Creative, energetic, and genuinely engaged with kids
• Warm and fun while also being a confident authority figure
• Comfortable differentiating instruction across multiple grade levels and learning styles
• Comfortable keeping up with an active family
• Collaborative and comfortable working alongside involved parents
• Someone who sees what needs to happen and helps make it happen

Our Family & Faith

We are a practicing Christian family, and our faith is a normal and important part of daily family life.

Our Teacher/Family Assistant is not required to share our personal religious beliefs but must be genuinely comfortable working in a Christian home and supporting our children in these routines and the environment we've established for our family.

We also believe that parents should lead conversations with our children regarding personal beliefs, political issues, and controversial social or cultural topics. We expect our Teacher/Family Assistant to respect our role as parents and maintain appropriate professional boundaries around these subjects.
