This position provides hands-on experience working directly with children and is especially valuable for individuals interested in careers in education, psychology, speech therapy, occupational therapy, social work, counseling, or child development. Many of our tutors find this work especially rewarding because they get to build meaningful relationships with children and support important developmental milestones through play.

Schedule may be flexible depending on family and tutor availability.

If these schedules do not match your availability but you are able to work at least 10 hours per week, we still encourage you to apply.

What a Typical Session Looks Like

Sessions typically take place in the child’s home and involve interactive, play-based activities that follow the child’s interests. Tutors may build with blocks, play pretend games, read together, explore sensory activities, or support communication and social interaction through play. The goal is to create meaningful engagement that supports the child’s development while making learning enjoyable.

At least two years of college coursework (48 semester hours or 72 quarter hours) OR an active substitute teacher license
Reliable transportation

Candidates must also pass a background check and obtain an Instructional Assistant permit. Relate & Grow will guide you through this process and reimburse the cost after a period of satisfactory employment.

First Aid and CPR certification is a plus but not required and can be obtained after hiring.

Training and Approach

These developmental, relationship-based approaches follow a child’s interests to strengthen communication, social connection, emotional regulation, and learning skills.
