Part-Time Childcare Provider

Job Summary:
The Neighbors Link Family Center grounds its programming in the philosophy that parents are a child’s first teacher. We offer evidenced-informed programming in parent education, school readiness, after-school and summer academic support, and healthy family relationships. As we expand our programs, we are looking for caring individuals who want to make a real difference in the lives of children and families while enjoying a flexible, part-time schedule. If you love being around kids, are curious about child development, and thrive in a collaborative community setting, we would love to hear from you.

We offer accessible educational programs for adults, including English language learning, workforce development, immigration legal services, and parenting education. To help reduce barriers to participation, we provide free on-site childcare so parents can focus on
their classes with peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, engaged, and well cared for.

As a Childcare Provider, you’ll help create a safe, welcoming, and nurturing space where children can learn and play while their parents participate in adult education classes nearby. Because this isn’t a drop-off program, parents remain on-site, giving you the chance to build a supportive, connected environment for both children and families. In this role, you’ll play an important part in fostering the warm, inclusive, and family-friendly atmosphere that defines our programs.

In this role, you will also work collaboratively with staff, families, volunteers and partner agencies in our three locations in Mount Kisco, Ossining and Yonkers and will be expected to travel to all three locations, as needed. As a Childcare Provider, you will report to the
Childcare Program Manager.

Responsibilities:

  • Uphold the values and mission of the organization, fostering an inclusive and welcoming space for all families.
  • Reflect the values and philosophy of Neighbors Link by creating a caring and nurturing environment based on mutual respect.
  • Supervise and engage children in age-appropriate activities that support physical, emotional, and social development.
  • Maintain a safe, clean, and organized childcare environment at all times.
  • Follow established safety protocols, including child check-in/check-out procedures and emergency response plans.
  • Communicate effectively and respectfully with parents, program staff, and volunteers.
  • Observe and document children’s behavior and development, reporting concerns to the Childcare Program Manager.
  • Assist with snacks and other daily routines as needed.
  • Set up and clean up childcare room materials before and after each session; provide a supportive environment in which children can learn and practice appropriate and acceptable individual and group behaviors.
  • Collaborate with other childcare staff to ensure smooth transitions and a positive environment for all children.

You’re a great fit if you:

  • Are English-Spanish bilingual or multilingual (strongly encouraged and reflects the diversity of the communities we serve)
  • Are comfortable with a flexible schedule ranging from 15 to 30 hours per week, which may shift as program offerings grow
  • Genuinely enjoy spending time with children and bring patience, energy, and warmth to your work
  • Have an interest in childhood development, early education, or supporting families and community
  • Have at least 1 year of experience working with young children in a group setting (childcare center, preschool, etc.).
  • Work well as part of a team and are comfortable in busy, lively environments
  • Are reliable, responsible and client committed
  • Willing and able to travel to all of Neighbors Link locations in Mount Kisco, Ossining and Yonkers, as needed.
  • Willing and able to support other programs and/or special events, including community outreach efforts.
