Nursery caregivers are responsible for maintaining a clean, safe, warm and caring environment for children, assisting with sign-in/sign-out, being aware of any specific concerns or needs from parents for their children, and facilitating activities with children (birth through age 5) in an indoor and outdoor screen-free play environment. This may include reading books, playing games, taking a small group of kids out to the playground, drawing, assisting children with body care when appropriate, and seeking assistance as needed from church staff or parents. At times there may be no children in the nursery and up to 8 children maximum being cared for by two caregivers.
It is important that there are two caregivers whenever children are present. Therefore advance notice is requested if you are unable to work so that there is adequate time to find a substitute caregiver. A strict phone use policy will be in place for optimal child safety and to establish a practice of screen-free play on campus.
