What is a school caregiver?

School caregivers are professionals who provide support and assistance to students within a school setting. Their responsibilities typically include ensuring the safety and well-being of children, helping with personal care tasks, and supporting students with special needs or disabilities. They work closely with teachers, parents, and other staff to create a nurturing environment that promotes learning and development. School caregivers play a vital role in fostering inclusion and helping all students succeed.

What are some typical challenges faced by school caregivers when supporting children with diverse needs?

School caregivers often work with children who have varying backgrounds, abilities, and emotional needs, which can present unique challenges. Balancing individualized attention while managing group dynamics requires strong communication and patience. Caregivers also coordinate closely with teachers, parents, and support staff to ensure each child's needs are met, making adaptability and teamwork essential. Successfully navigating these challenges offers valuable experience and opportunities for professional growth in educational and child development settings.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a school caregiver, and why are they important?

To thrive as a School Caregiver, you need a background in child development or education, basic first aid training, and often a relevant certification or diploma. Familiarity with classroom management tools, child safety protocols, and communication systems is typically required. Patience, empathy, and strong interpersonal skills help you build trust with children and effectively collaborate with teachers and parents. These skills ensure a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment crucial for students’ well-being and development.

Job description

After School Caregiver

Part-Time • ~$23/hour • ~20 hours/week • Pasadena

Looking for a kind, patient, fun-loving person to hang out with an awesome 12-year-old after school!

Our son is entering 6th grade. He is autistic, has ADHD and some anxiety, and is working hard toward independence. He's social, curious, adventurous, and loves biking, skateboarding, LEGO, cooking, his dog, and TV time!

We're looking for someone who can:

  • Pick him up/meet him after school & make sure he gets home safely
  • Spend a couple hours hanging out, playing, walking the dog, or working on homework
  • Provide structure, encouragement & positive boundaries
  • Roll with the unexpected and have a sense of humor!

Experience with autism, ADHD, or neurodivergent kids is an extra, but 100% NOT required. Great opportunity for a college student, future teacher/therapist, or anyone who genuinely enjoys working with kids.

~20 hours/week | $23/hour

Our family is connected with the Regional Center, and a portion of the position is funded through respite services. We supplement the funding to bring total pay to $23/hour.
