Job Discription
Anu’s Parent Coaches guide caregivers toward increasing their confidence in their parenting skills while also increasing the loving connection between them and their children. Most of Anu’s Parent Coaching clients receive county support through Comprehensive Community Services, Children’s Long-Term Support Waiver, or the child welfare system. Parent Coaches teach caregivers how to meet their child’s emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs. Anu is searching for individuals passionate about helping families thrive to join the Parent Coaching team to serve Milwaukee, Waukesha, and nearby counties.
This position is part-time, with the opportunity to increase hours based on the candidate’s availability, professional goals, and the number of referrals received for the service. Anu offers a work environment with competitive benefits, a flexible schedule with some evening hours, a home-office base, and opportunities for professional development. With this position, there is also an opportunity to earn 3,000 supervised hours to become a Licensed Professional Counselor or Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Professionals hired for this position receive paid training via an online Parenting Coach Certification course. Parent Coaches employ Present Moment Parenting, helping parents focus on the whole child in the present rather than on modifying the behavior. Parent Coaching is a strengths-based intervention that provides biological, foster, adoptive, and kinship parents with hands-on, here-and-now tools for bringing about rapid, dramatic improvements in the relationship with their child, encouraging healthy changes in the child’s behavior.
