Work With Behavior Experts to Improve Child Behavior (Caregivers Needed)

Location
Remote (Residents of VA, WV, CA, CO, FL, NH, SC, ME)

Job Type
Part-time | Remote | Caregiver Participation Program

Description

Do you care for a child and sometimes feel unsure what to do when behavior becomes difficult?

We are inviting parents, teachers, and caregivers to participate in a remote support program where you can talk through everyday challenges with children and receive practical strategies based on the science of behavior.

Participants meet with graduate students studying behavior analysis who are completing supervised training under a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). During these conversations, caregivers describe situations they are experiencing with children in their care, and the students help explore practical strategies that may help improve daily routines and behavior.

Many caregivers participate because they want support with real-life situations that happen at home, school, or childcare settings.

There is no cost to participate, and a small monthly stipend is provided to thank caregivers for their time.

Examples of Topics That May Be Discussed

  • challenging behavior
  • difficulty following directions
  • emotional regulation
  • social skills
  • daily routines and independence
  • communication skills
  • play skills
  • safety skills
  • homework or academic routines

Children may be neurotypical or neurodivergent. Caregivers from all backgrounds are welcome.

What Participation Looks Like

  • Two virtual meetings per month with a graduate student (every two weeks)
  • Each meeting lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes
  • Conversations about everyday situations involving children in your care
  • Practical ideas based on research in behavior science

Who Should Apply

Anyone who regularly cares for children is welcome to apply, including:

  • parents or guardians
  • teachers
  • paraprofessionals
  • daycare providers
  • nannies or babysitters
  • foster parents
  • other caregivers who work with children

Time Commitment

Approximately 1 to 1.5 hours per month.

Compensation

Participants receive a $20 monthly stipend as a thank you for their time.

About the Program

This program helps expand access to practical behavior strategies for caregivers while giving graduate students studying behavior analysis the opportunity to practice supporting families under professional supervision.

How to Apply

If you are interested, please apply and include your email address along with the age of the child or children in your care.

Pay: $20.00 per month
