Job Description

JOB BOARD TITLE: Wanted: Professional High-Fiver & Part-Time Superhero (Behavior Technician)

Let’s be honest. The corporate 9-to-5 world is a simulation filled with people talking about "synergy" and replying "as per my last email." If you would rather jump out a window than look at another spreadsheet, we have a proposition for you. We are looking for an in-person Behavior Technician who is ready to skip the small talk and dive headfirst into meaningful, beautifully chaotic human development.

The Mission Parameters

The VIP Client: A spectacular 7-year-old female who has a lot to say (she is verbal!) but struggles with some moderate-to-severe behavioral roadblocks. She needs a guide, a boundary-setter, and an absolute champion.

The Drop Zone: Direct, in-person therapy sessions taking place inside the client’s Home over in Yorktown Heights, NY (Zip Code: 10598).

The Universal Translator: You must speak fluent Spanish. Understanding the complex psychological motivations of a child who operates on her own wavelengths is a major plus.

What You’ll Actually Do All Day

You aren't babysitting. You are actively rewiring a young human's approach to the universe using science (Applied Behavior Analysis).

Data Overlord: You will track behaviors with clinical precision. Yes, you will technically be getting paid to count how many times a seven-year-old attempts to test gravity.

Professional Hype-Person: You will celebrate small victories like they are Olympic gold medals. Did she transition from playing to eating dinner without a meltdown? Cue the confetti.

The Strategic Clock: You’ll be locking down 25 hours per week, with sessions taking place entirely after 4:00 PM.

  • Who You Are (According to Prophecy)
  • If you are a stiff, unyielding rule-follower who gets flustered when plans change, you will not survive week one. Our client specifically needs someone empathetic and highly responsible who:
  • Can maintain the calm aura of a yoga instructor while surrounded by a whirlwind of big feelings.
  • Has a background in psychology, special education, or is just the designated "kid magnet" in their social circle.
  • Understands that progress isn't a straight line—it's a squiggle.
  • The Compensation (The Absurdly Wealthy Part)

We offer a highly competitive base rate. But that is just pennies compared to our proprietary Intergalactic Benefits Package. If you successfully coach this kiddo through a tough transition without losing your cool, we will legally rename a minor constellation in the Andromeda galaxy after you.

Additionally, if you manage to keep your shirt completely free of mysterious sticky substances for four consecutive days, we will credit your account with three billion cosmic credits.

(Disclaimer: Cosmic credits are valued at $0.00 USD and cannot be used to pay rent, but the bragging rights are mathematically infinite).

Apply Now: Drop us your resume along with a note telling us about a time you had to handle an absolute crisis with nothing but a smile and sheer determination.

Key Responsibilities

You will conduct in-person Applied Behavior Analysis therapy sessions to support a child's development. Responsibilities include tracking behavioral data with precision and celebrating developmental milestones.

Requirements

The ideal candidate must be fluent in Spanish and possess a background in psychology or special education. You must be empathetic, highly responsible, and capable of maintaining composure in a dynamic environment.
