Join Our Team

Nothing like this exists yet. But neurodivergent families urgently need our help, so we're building it - and we need the right people to make it work. We're assembling our team now to begin serving families in Fall 2026.

About the Role

Novinway provides specialized childcare and companionship for neurodivergent children and teens in the DC metro area. Our caregivers - we call them Neurodivergent Care Specialists - are the core of everything we do. The families we serve have often spent years searching for reliable, competent care and come up empty. The right person in this role changes that. We're screening candidates now and training over the summer so our team is ready when families need us.

Right now, all positions are part-time and flexible. This is ideal for students building real-world experience, or working professionals looking for meaningful supplemental work on evenings and weekends.

This isn't a gig. It's paid-above-market work with families who need someone they can count on. You'll be trained specifically for each child you work with, supported by a clinician-designed framework, and trusted to show up as a real presence in a family's life.

This is a non-clinical role. You'll gain highly relevant hands-on experience and receive mentorship from credentialed professionals, but this work does not constitute supervised clinical hours for licensure or credentialing purposes unless your specific program accepts non-clinical experience. Check with your advisor if you're unsure.

Who we're looking for:

Students and recent graduates in psychology, special education, adapted PE, occupational therapy, speech pathology, or related fields who want hands-on experience with neurodivergent populations. Whether you're an undergrad building your application for graduate school, a grad student looking for relevant field experience, or a recent graduate launching your career - this is work that builds skills no classroom can teach. Flexible scheduling around your classes or other commitments.

Working professionals - behavior technicians, paraeducators, special educators, DSPs - looking for additional hours doing the part of the job they actually love: building relationships with kids without the paperwork and burnout. Flexible scheduling around your primary job.
