Going into our new semester we have a few spots to fill.

Our nursery has 5 babies, 4 of whom are older and one whom is an infant. There are two people during this shift which is the busier time of day. As the weather gets nicer it is very important that the person taking this job is willing to take two childre at a time on a stroller ride in the nice weather while the other techer stays back with napping children, etc. As children in the nursery learn to walk, taking them to the park to play, etc will be very important. It is critical to read to the babies and talk to them all day long as you engage and sit on the floor with them. Tis is not a job for someone who wants to do homework, read, or be on their phone. The baby position requires 100% attention on the babies.
