Kid to Kid is always looking for fun, friendly people to join our team who are willing to work hard, multitask, take initiative, and take pride in what they do. Our team members cross-train and work in other areas of the store as needed, and there are multiple opportunities for advancement.

Every day, more than 10,000 kids open the door to a shopping experience that's unmatched for value and selection by any other retail children's store. With more than 125 locations across the United States, Canada, and Portugal, Kid to Kid is making a difference in communities by providing growing families with items they need and love at a fraction of the retail cost.

Customers love us for our daily-changing selection, our value, and the convenience of selling their outgrown kids' items for cash on the spot.
