About The Position

Anu’s Parent Coaches assist caregivers in increasing their confidence in their parenting skills and strengthening 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 seeking individuals passionate about helping families thrive to join the Parent Coaching team and serve Outagamie, Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, and nearby counties.
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 toward licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor or Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
This is a part-time position with the potential to increase your hours to accommodate your preference. 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 to bring about rapid, dramatic improvements in their relationships with their children and to encourage healthy changes in the children’s behavior.
