Job Description

MissPoppins is transforming the art of parenting by providing real-time, personalized support—instantly connecting families with expert coaches for every stage of parenthood. Our platform handles the logistics—payments, scheduling, profile visibility, client matching—so you can focus on what you do best: guiding children’s growth across developmental milestones. From automated onboarding to seamless client management, MissPoppins empowers you with the tools, technology, and support to grow your practice without burnout.

We’re Looking for a Child Development Coach

If you’re passionate about nurturing children’s cognitive, social, emotional, and motor skills—and want a flexible, digital‐first platform to scale your impact—we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

  • Conduct virtual one‐on‐one developmental assessments for children (0–8 years)
  • Design and deliver customized activity plans to promote milestones in play, language, fine/gross motor, and social skills
  • Educate caregivers on evidence‐based techniques (e.g., guided play, positive discipline, early literacy strategies)
  • Troubleshoot challenges like delayed milestones, sensory sensitivities, or social‐emotional regulation
  • Host live & on‐demand webinars on topics such as “Building Early Motor Skills” and “Fostering Emotional Intelligence”
  • Provide ongoing follow‐up, adjusting plans based on progress data and family feedback
  • Document session notes, milestones, and next‐step recommendations in your MissPoppins coach portal

You’re a Great Fit If You:

  • Hold a degree or certification in child development, early childhood education, or a related field
  • Have hands‐on experience guiding families through developmental plans and milestone tracking
  • Are trauma‐informed, culturally sensitive, and engaging in your coaching style
  • Embrace technology and value flexibility as an independent contractor
  • Want to focus on promoting child development—without the admin, marketing, and billing overhead

Why Join MissPoppins?

  • Set Your Own Schedule & Availability
  • Seamless Payments —we handle billing so you get paid on time
  • Platform Visibility —families find and book you via our app and website
  • Care‐Centered Community —collaborate with mission‐driven providers
  • Transparent Pricing —no hidden fees; many services are FSA/HSA eligible
  • Burnout‐Proof —focus on delivering developmental gains, not paperwork

MissPoppins is insurance‐free—no deductibles or surprise bills for clients. While we don’t bill insurance directly, many coaching services are FSA/HSA eligible. Certified providers engage in a coaching capacity across geographies; services are not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
