About the Role
Are you a natural caregiver who thrives on making a positive impact in a child's life? Jovie is currently seeking enthusiastic, creative, and reliable Nannies and Babysitters to join our premier childcare team in Fall City. Whether you are a retired educator looking for a more intimate setting than a traditional classroom, a former daycare worker, or a dedicated nursery volunteer, we offer a rewarding environment where your skills are celebrated. In this role, you will provide high-quality care for toddlers and elementary-aged children, facilitating a safe and fun atmosphere while parents are working.
Key ResponsibilitiesAs a member of the Jovie team, your primary focus is the well-being and development of the children in your care. Your daily activities will center on engagement and safety within the family home.
- Deliver attentive, one-on-one childcare tailored to the specific developmental needs and ages of the children.
- Lead creative and age-appropriate activities, such as reading, arts and crafts, and active outdoor play, to keep children engaged without the use of screens.
- Maintain a consistent routine that aligns with the parents' preferences, ensuring a seamless transition during the workday.
- Perform 'common-sense' cleanup related to the children’s activities and meal times to leave the home as you found it.
- Communicate effectively and professionally with parents regarding the day’s highlights and any important updates.
- Ensure a safe environment by proactively managing risks and reacting to any emergent situations with a calm and effective demeanor.
We are looking for individuals who are not just looking for a job, but who truly enjoy the company of children and value the trust families place in their caregivers.
- Minimum of 18 years of age with at least one year of consistent childcare experience (nanny, sitter, teacher, or similar).
- Demonstrated ability to be reliable, punctual, and communicative with both management and families.
- Possess a valid driver's license and reliable transportation to commute to various assignments in the Fall City area.
- Physical ability to engage in active play, including frequent lifting (up to 35 lbs), bending, squatting, and getting up and down from the floor.
- Availability to work at least two days per week for shifts ranging from 6 to 9 hours between the window of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
- Ability to provide three professional references, including at least two specifically related to child-focused work.
Working with Jovie means joining a community that supports your professional growth and values your contribution to the families we serve.
- Competitive compensation starting at $20.00 - $25.00 per hour, with overtime rates reaching up to $37.50 per hour.
