About Joa

My name is Joa. My partner and I moved to Missoula in September of 2024 to attend the University for my MFA in Creative Writing, and now I am graduating in a few weeks. I am looking for a part time-full time job in the summer and ongoing. I have a lot of experience working with kids--most recently, I lived on Orcas Island and worked as a para-educator. Before then, I served an AmeriCorps term, working as a farm to table educator in pre-k through high school classrooms. I also ran after school clubs for low resource kiddos and their families. I have experience nannying with several families, one of whom I travelled to several countries with. I am CPR certified and have a clean driving record. I care about gentle nurturing, outdoor play, and being creative. I'd love to connect if you think we'd be a good fit. Let me know if you have any questions!
