Working for Parenting Now

"Working as a Parenting Educator brings so much joy to my life. This work allows me to help families build their skills and confidence in their relationship with their children. I get to witness their connections grow, and share in the joys and challenges of parenting!"

"I enjoy that I get to work with such dedicated, caring people. I enjoy sharing my passion of helping others with like-minded folks. I am proud to work for an organization that offers so many valuable resources to the parents in our community."

“I enjoy my job because I know what it is like to have support from someone during that phase of my life (raising a baby). Having a Family Support Specialist there to point out what I was doing right and help me make good choices for myself and my baby was instrumental."
