In our community of honoring essential families and frontline workers, the need and importance of childcare givers has taken on a new necessity. Families are experiencing changes and our children are needing care---their village may be different but one thing remains the same--safe, secure, and engaging care for our children is key! If nurturing is in your nature, please join our team of caregivers to help our local community.

You focus on fun work with children. We do the work to support you through a caring team and amazing opportunities.

When you’re a child's caregiver, you’re not just taking care of a child. You’re inspiring them with the very best in you.

You’ll get to:

  • Be a Role Model – Change a mood with a smile. Bring calm to chaos. Show ‘em how it’s done
  • Be Playful – Hey, it’s fun! You get to be a kid again and share everything you loved doing—riddles, card games, treasure hunts, neighborhood baseball. Yup—all in your job description
  • Be helpful – Many parents are overwhelmed with their daily schedules and now need to be parents, teachers, workers, and more. You’ll help with that
  • Be adventurous – What exciting discoveries lie ahead? Rediscover the world through a kid’s eyes
  • Be in charge - You will manage the safety and care and create a fulfilling day for children who will appreciate the comfort and care you bring

Compensation Benefits:

  • Paid training professional development
  • All work will be within 15-20 miles of your home
  • We reimburse caregivers for up to 20 miles of their round trip, starting after the first 20 miles traveled

About you:

  • You will be able to provide 3 references, 2 non-family-related childcare work (paid or unpaid), and 1 character reference (can be a friend, co-worker, housemate, etc.)
  • Must have the COVID-19 vaccine
  • You have at least 1 year of experience with children ages 6 months – 12 years (special needs experience is a plus!)
  • You have relatable childcare experience and the desire to work one-on-one with children in their homes, putting safety and engagement above all else
  • Your phone isn’t your life, and you can disconnect from it to connect with a child
  • You have a reliable vehicle and a valid driver's license
  • At least 18 years of age or older
  • You’re already CPR certified or able to be so - we will reimburse you!
  • You are available any Monday - Friday for 4 to 8-hour shifts between 7 am and 7 pm

Working Conditions and Requirements:

  • The work environment will be active, kid-centric, and include clean-up of activities
  • Part of each day may be spent outside, weather permitting, and will be active play
  • Essential Physical Requirements:
  • Position involves regular lifting, bending, squatting, reaching, and pushing
  • Must be able to lift 35 pounds safely
  • Must be able to get up from and down to the floor numerous times throughout the day
  • Will need to be able to react quickly to certain situations
  • May need to react to emergent situations in a calm, effective and safe manner

So, apply. Let’s talk about your schedule, your skills, and your paycheck.

  • Please note that during this time of COVID-19, Jovie expects all employees to follow CDC guidelines and ensure best hygiene practices when working and in their personal time. This family is following these recommended guidelines cautiously and conservatively and expects the caregiver to do the same to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible
