Child Care:
- Keep kids engaged, safe, and off their screens with fun activities.

What we need from you:
- Experience: Some demonstrable experience in childcare (babysitting, siblings, nannying, daycare or volunteering counts!).
- Reliability: You show up on time and communicate clearly.
- Trust & Safety: To ensure the highest quality of care for our clients, all independent care providers must complete our comprehensive Trust & Safety onboarding process and meet all local, state, and enterprise childcare compliance standards. (CPR/First Aid certification is a plus!)
