👋 About Zen Educate
Zen Educate is a technology-driven platform that connects schools with high-quality educators in a faster, more transparent way. We simplify the hiring process by matching educators to roles that align with their skills, preferences, and availability.
By reducing friction for schools and increasing access to opportunities for educators, we’re building a more efficient and fair education staffing system.

  • Support students with elements of personal care (feeding, toileting, etc.)

Required Qualifications:

  • High School Diploma or GED
  • 1+ years experience in childcare/education
  • Applicants must have professional proficiency in English
  • US Work Authorization - Zen Educate cannot provide sponsorship for an employment visa or relocation assistance at this time.

Physical Requirements:

  • Comfortable being on your feet and moving around the classroom throughout the day
