    Description

    Your love of Children can save a Life at Family Relief Nursery

    Resiliency research shows it only takes a bond with one adult outside their family for children to feel the positive effects for a lifetime. Enhance the well-being and development of young children by being a positive, stable, consistent adult in their lives.

    Create positive role models for at risk children and families; maintain safety and a positive learning environment. Help progress a child’s development through play and interaction. Bring joy into a child’s day and your own while learning age-appropriate positive discipline techniques, early childhood development theory, and Montessori Method for small groups of children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. Help with meal clean-up, laundry, folding clothing, donations, etc.

    Essential Qualifications:

    • Ability to model interactions of teachers.
    • Some lifting with children under 2 ½ years.
    • Must love children and be able to interact positively.
    • Choose from shifts Mon.-Fri, 9:00am-5:00pm. We ask for a 6-month commitment of 2 hours per week or more.

    If you love children, and want to help them grow; this opportunity is for you.
