Looking for a job as a Shadow

I'd love to be a shadow for an elementary girl.
I'm 33 years old.
I used to teach and greatly miss the school system but don't have the time to prepare lessons and take a teaching job.
Would you know of anyone that needs a shadow?
Would a teacher be intimidated by a shadow my age?

I'll post my email address if anyone knows of an available job.

Thanks for your time!

Depends what sort of kids you want to work with. Contact Schi, tender touch, catapult.
A younger teacher would probably be intimidated. An experienced one would love to have you around. In any case it’s not up to the teacher.

Many bcba's (ABA experts) will train someone willing to shadow. Brainbuilders is often looking.

Then I'd definitely consider it if it's in a regular school setting. Is it?
Thanks!

The one I’m thinking of would be in the center after school program as a aba for a specific child.

I actually know of someone that is currently looking. I don't have exact details but my daughter's classmate's mother just posted that she's looking to hire someone. If you pm me I'll give you her phone number

Op id take you for my daughter in a heartbeat but she’s not yet approved. She’s in elementary school, has severe adhd and I’m trying to get her a shadow for 2 hours in the afternoon. Is that the sort of job you’re looking for? I have no clue when my daughter will get services so this isn’t an actual lead but I’m pretty certain it goes through tender touch.

So she has to find the shadow on her own? I had assumed the agency would get us one once were qualified.

I don't know. I have no details. I know she was looking for someone, but since I didn't intend to offer I didn't investigate further. It's possible it isn't approved by insurance and she'd like to pay...

I greatly appreciate the offer!
However, I miss the school system and really wish to work in a girls school.
Thanks so much!

Question about shadows - can parents hire their own? Is it through an agency? I’m in NY State and about a year away from formally starting the process of hopefully getting a 1:1 for my child who will be in Kindergarten.
