Job Description

Jawly is an early-stage startup building a new kind of enrichment experience for kids—one that blends storytelling, character play, and expressive voice technology into something social, physical, and genuinely delightful. Jawly is launching a live, character-led enrichment program designed for preschool and early learning classrooms. Our sessions blend storytelling, movement, and expressive character performance to support language development, self-regulation, and social growth in children ages 3-5. We are seeking an experienced early childhood educator to lead sessions across schools in the Chicagoland area. This is a hands-on, in-person role for someone who loves being present with kids, enjoys running programs independently, and is excited to be part of something early.

The program structure, characters, and content are provided. Your role is to bring it to life and help us make it better through real-world insight. Who we're looking for You might be a great fit if you are: Experience teaching ages 3-5 Experience leading group movement or circle time activities Naturally energetic, expressive, and present Comfortable leading a room and adapting in real time Creative, curious, and open to experimentation Reliable, organized, and punctual Excited by early-stage ideas and building things from the ground up Comfortable traveling locally and working independently Backgrounds that often work well (but are not required): Early childhood or elementary education Theater, improv, storytelling, or performance Camps, enrichment programs, or after-school programs Creative or entrepreneurial side projects We are especially excited about candidates who see this as more than "just a gig" and are interested in growing alongside a new concept . Compensation Competitive per-session pay , at the high end of local enrichment programs Total earnings scale with the number of sessions you run Opportunity for performance-based bonuses as the program grows Potential for deeper involvement with Jawly over time for exceptional contributors This role is designed to be self-sustaining and paid , not speculative. Schedule & commitment Part-time, weekday work Morning, afternoon, or after-school sessions depending on school schedules Consistent weekly cadence during each 4-week program cycle Why this role is different Jawly is early. That's intentional. You'll have: A real voice in shaping how the program evolves Direct access to the founders A front-row seat to the creation of something new in education and play Because Jawly is growing, educators in this role should be comfortable providing feedback and contributing to program refinement.
