  • Use play, patience, and ABA therapy to teach real-life skills
  • Celebrate their wins! (big and small)

What you need

  • A heart for helping kids
  • A calm, steady presence
  • Eagerness & energy to play
  • A willingness to learn something new

What you’ll get

  • Smiles and giggles from happy kids!
  • A job that’s finally meaningful
  • A nationally recognized RBT Certification (comes with a pay raise!)
  • A rewarding career path in behavioral healthcare

Who We’re Looking For

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • A genuine passion for helping children and teens grow
  • Reliable transportation

No experience? No problem!

We’ll teach you everything you need to know. And if you’ve ever worked as a nanny, paraprofessional, teacher, CNA, personal attendant, daycare, childcare, babysitter, caregiver, or aide, or studied psychology, social work, or sociology — you’re already halfway there!

This isn’t just a job. It’s the chance for both you and the kids to have a brighter future!
