What You'll Do

• Build warm, trusting relationships with children and families.
• Actively supervise children and make their safety your first priority.
• Engage children in age-appropriate play, learning, and conversation.
• Support daily routines, including meals, diapering, toileting, and rest.
• Use patience, positive guidance, and encouragement.
• Work collaboratively with teachers and adapt to different classrooms.
• Maintain a professional, respectful, and positive approach with children, families, and coworkers.

• Willingness and ability to work with all age groups, from infants through school-age children.

• Ability to obtain required clearances and complete required training.

Schedule and Availability

Our center is open Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. This role requires availability to work scheduled shifts within that window, with flexibility to support classroom needs. You would work an assigned shift - not the full operating day.

If you bring patience, energy, professionalism, and a commitment to doing your best for children each day, we encourage you to apply.
