Reliable Instructional Aides and Behavioral Technicians for California Schools
Full-service managed staffing — recruitment, DOJ/FBI Live Scan screening, ongoing training, attendance monitoring, active supervision, and replacement coordination for every placement, from Los Angeles and Ventura County to the Central Coast.
You're Not Alone If You're Dealing With
A Mid-Year Staffing Gap
An open aide position that puts an IEP mandate at risk while you scramble to fill it.
A Generalist Vendor
A staffing agency that sends whoever's available — not someone actually qualified for SPED.
No Single Point of Contact
Every call routes to a different rep who doesn't know your school, your student, or your history.
No Visibility Into Attendance
No way to confirm your assigned aide actually showed up today — until it's already a problem.
We do it differently. Here's how.
