Early Childhood Support Nanny needed for toddler with a car (Work study available)

We are a family in Columbia, MD partnering with our son’s nonprofit early childhood program to support his transition back into the classroom setting. We are looking for a motivated student (early childhood education, occupational therapy, special education, psychology, or related field) who is eligible for work-study and interested in gaining meaningful, hands-on experience. Our son is 2.5 years old, bright, affectionate, and very active. He thrives with 1:1 guidance and we are working collaboratively with his school to help him build the skills needed for success in a group classroom environment. This role is ideal for a student who wants real experience in: - toddler behavior and emotional regulation - supporting transitions and peer interactions Responsibilities: - Provide 1:1 support during parts of the school day and/or at home - Guide structured play, routines, and transitions - Reinforce consistent language and expectations (we will train you) - Support gentle peer interactions and “safe body” behaviors What makes this opportunity unique: - Work-study eligible through a nonprofit early childhood program - Direct exposure to a collaborative school environment - Hands-on experience supporting a child with individualized needs - Opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in a real-world setting - Strong letter of recommendation (x2) upon completion Schedule: The Mom is a nurse who works 12Hr 2-3 weekdays a week. On the days she works we would like to have a consistent nanny for 0700-1300 on the days she work. *Also we are expecting in 8 months so infant experience would be appreciated as well. We are looking for someone patient, consistent, and eager to learn. This is a great opportunity for students pursuing careers in education, therapy, or child development who want experience that goes beyond traditional babysitting/nannying.
