All 4 children attend a program from 8:30am-3:30pm each day.

The base schedule for this position is split format of 4-5 hours in the morning (~6am-10am) and 3-5 hours in the late afternoon/evening, offering 40 guaranteed hours/week. Approximately 2 days/week, later shift hours can be more flexible when the children are with their other parent.

Key responsibilities include co-parenting with mom to meet the demands of running a household with 4 toddlers.

There is a family car available for work use and a safe driving record is required. Having a flexible nature, collaborative spirit, and true love of toddlerhood are important in this position. Those who are quick to laugh and see how important their role is in providing stability and support in this single parent household will thrive!
