We are a licensed in-home childcare program seeking a dependable, organized, and professional Home Childcare Assistant to support our daily operations. This is a dual-role position designed to align with the natural rhythm of an in-home childcare setting.
Responsibilities shift throughout the day based on children’s schedules. When children are awake, the role focuses on childcare support. During scheduled nap/rest periods, responsibilities transition to household support tasks.
Children are always under active supervision of 1 adult during nap.
This position is ideal for someone who values structure, flexibility, and understands that maintaining a well-run home environment supports high-quality childcare.
“This role is intentionally structured to combine childcare and household support duties within a licensed in-home setting.”
Primary Responsibilities:
Childcare Support:
- Assist with supervision and daily routines.
- Support transitions, activities, and classroom flow.
- Help maintain a calm, safe, and nurturing environment.
Household Support (completed during scheduled nap/rest times 2-3x/week):
- General household cleaning of the personal home (not childcare programming).
- Kitchen cleanup, surface sanitizing, sweeping and mopping.
- Light laundry as needed.
- Tidying and maintaining common household areas.
Important Role Expectations:
- This position includes both childcare and household support responsibilities as a regular part of the role. Applicants should be comfortable with alternating duties based on the daily schedule.
- This is a personal home setting; household tasks support overall operations and are not a substitute for childcare supervision.
- Due to the nature of childcare staffing, reliability and consistent attendance during scheduled work hours are essential.
Requirements:
- Basic English proficiency.
- Background check and fingerprinting required.
- Prior childcare experience is a plus.
- Comfortable working in a home environment.
- Reliable, respectful, and detail-oriented.
Benefits:
- Paid ALL federal holidays (when childcare is closed).
- Two weeks paid vacation.
- Opportunity for raises and performance-based bonuses.
- Paid rest breaks are provided during scheduled nap/rest times, in alignment with the needs of the program.
