  • Candidates must be reliable, responsible, and proactive.
  • CPR/First Aid certification is required.
  • An early childhood education background or a relevant degree is considered an asset.
  • The family prefers a candidate who is science-minded and current on vaccinations (Flu, Tdap/MMR).
  • A valid driver's license is required, along with access to reliable transportation.

Perks & Compensation

  • Compensation: $25+/hour (paid via payroll).
  • Guaranteed Hours: 40 hours per week guaranteed.
  • Benefits: 2 weeks of paid vacation, 5 days of sick time, paid federal holidays, and a $300/month health insurance stipend.
