• Transportation: Valid driver's license and reliable personal vehicle.
• Approach & Mindset:
  • Openness and willingness to learn about PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance / Persistent Drive for Autonomy) and low-demand parenting/teaching frameworks.

  • Christian values and ethos aligned with family life.
• Experience: Experience managing school burnout, neurodivergence, or specialized learning support is a strong advantage.
