Daycare in Queens Looking for Full-Time Assistant

A busy daycare in Queens is looking to fill its open position for an Assistant.

We are a small, family daycare providing care for families in the Queens/NYC area since 1992. We are a very family-oriented team of staff members whose primary objective is to provide excellent care for the children who attend our daycare. Some of the perks of working here include:

-Easy commute near the BQE and LIE. We are located on a residential street with free parking.

-Free homemade lunch, 5 days a week.

-One hour paid lunch break (You may not leave the facility during your break due to NY regulations and guidelines)

-Weekends off

Your role at the daycare will include:

- Playing with and reading to the children

- Following daycare curriculum via classwork, arts and crafts, gym, and exercise.

- Diaper changing and potty training

- Providing care for infants and toddlers including feeding, bottle feeding, putting them to sleep, changing clothes, and keeping clean.

- Cleaning toys, facility, equipment, and vacuuming play area/hallway/kitchen area.

- Knowing how to follow directions from the program director.

If you are not comfortable doing the listed tasks and/or you do not have experience working with children, please do not apply.

This only comes with experience.
