Job description

Do you possess the rare magical ability to locate missing socks, negotiate with tiny humans, and stay cheerful even when glitter mysteriously appears in your shoes? If so, Rosebuds Daycare and ELC wants YOU!

We’re a friendly, fun and caring bunch who believe childhood should be full of laughter, learning… and the occasional bubble machine emergency.

What We’re Looking For:

• A warm, caring personality (bonus points if you can smile before 9am)
• Patience levels comparable to a saint or a seasoned parent
• Creativity, from crafting masterpieces to inventing games on the spot
• Good communication skills (including the ability to decode toddler babble)
• A team player who can jump in, help out, and celebrate the little wins
• Qualified practitioner preferred, but if you’re willing to work towards it, we’ve got your back!

What We Offer:

• Full-time or part-time hours, we’re flexible like playdough
• A supportive, friendly team who loves what they do
• Daily concerts performed by children (voluntary audience participation)
• Occasional biscuits, because you’ve earned them

If you’re ready to join a place where fun meets learning and where no two days are ever the same we’d love to hear from you!
