About Check N' Play

Check N' Play is more than a play space — it's a thoughtfully designed destination where families can connect, play, and recharge together.

Created for children ages 6 and under, Check N' Play offers imaginative, enrichment-focused play experiences designed around creativity, movement, sensory exploration, and connection. From rotating crafts and themed activities to storytimes and special events, we create meaningful experiences for both children and caregivers in a warm, modern environment.

We are not a daycare. Instead, we provide a flexible, hospitality-driven experience where families can stay and play together, or for independently potty-trained children, enjoy short-term drop-off play while caregivers shop or dine within the mall.

We're looking for energetic, reliable, and engaging team members to join our Play Attendant team.

Position Overview

This position is ideal for individuals who enjoy working with children, thrive in fast-paced environments, and love creating joyful guest experiences.

Sales & Membership Support

• Eligible team members may qualify for sales incentives and bonuses

Requirements

• Must be 18 years of age or older
• Weekend availability required
• CPR Certification required (or willingness to obtain upon hire)
• Comfortable working in a physically active environment (lifting, bending, crawling, cleaning, etc.)
• Ability to lift and carry at least 50 lbs
• Friendly, outgoing, and guest-focused personality
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Reliable, punctual, and adaptable in fast-paced environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with children in camps, preschool, childcare, recreation, or educational settings
• Experience with arts & crafts, enrichment activities, or children's programming
• Customer service or hospitality experience
• Bilingual language skills are a plus (especially Spanish, Korean, or Mandarin)
