Hi There, Fellow Para! Welcome to A Para Pro! I'm Zochil Eagan...

I have been a paraeducator for over 10 + years and have special education experience in preschool, elementary and middle school.  I have worked with children with various diagnoses like autism, cerebral palsy, spina-bifida, and down syndrome.  

Teaching Philosophy

I'm all about helping paraeducators grow and find better opportunities to serve students. I believe each child is unique and deserves a supportive school environment that helps them grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. My goal is to create this kind of environment where students can be themselves and reach their full potential.

I approach my work with an open mind, positivity, and high expectations. I bring enthusiasm and dedication to everything I do, aiming to inspire others to do the same. Together, let's build a community where paraeducators can thrive financially while making a big difference in students' lives.

Family

I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago with my amazing husband and our 4 adorable & active children. During our free time, we love to read, create all sorts of arts and crafts, go to the park, take short hikes, bowl, and hit the arcade.

Hobbies

I'm always learning.  Right now, I'm learning to garden and developing my green thumb and family prepping. I love to take pictures on my DSLR and design on Canva. I also love to read and blog. If you are interested in starting a new hobby, you should consider blogging. 

Now I'm really, enjoying family keepsake videos with DIY Family Films.  Follow me on Instagram and you just might catch one!

A Para Pro

I started A Para Pro to empower paraeducators and bring awareness to the low salary. I  share my best para tips, hacks, and techniques to show up with confidence from day one. As well as encourage paras to take better care of themselves by promoting self-care, stress relief, and confidence building to supplement the low pay by leveraging their skills in the digital marketplace and serving students without money stress!

If you are looking to refresh or perhaps learn new para skills, self-care tips, and confidence boosters, as well as techniques to leverage your skills in the digital marketplace? Then please subscribe to A Para Pro to stay up to date! 

Thank you for stopping by. 

Fondly,
