Our ideal candidate is passionate about early childhood development, responsive caregiving, and creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where our youngest learners can thrive.

We need a confident, proactive professional who takes ownership of their classroom, demonstrates initiative, and consistently meets expectations without constant reminders.

• Exceptional classroom management, organization, and time-management skills.
• Knowledge of safe sleep practices, sanitation, diapering, feeding, and infant safety protocols.
• Ability to maintain individualized infant schedules while managing the needs of multiple children.
• Familiarity with Florida DCF childcare regulations.
• Infant/Toddler CDA or equivalent early childhood credentials preferred.
• Current CPR/First Aid certification preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide warm, attentive, and responsive care to infants.

• Implement engaging sensory, motor, language, and social-emotional learning experiences.
• Maintain individualized feeding, diapering, sleeping, and developmental records accurately and consistently.
• Follow safe sleep, sanitation, hygiene, and active supervision procedures at all times.
• Recognize and respond appropriately to infants' individual cues, needs, and developmental differences.

• Demonstrate strong teamwork, accountability, and initiative.
• Maintain compliance with school policies, licensing standards, and health and safety requirements.

Our Ideal Candidate

You are patient, nurturing, attentive, and genuinely passionate about infant development.

You understand that every interaction is an opportunity for learning, from tummy time and sensory play to feeding, comforting, and early communication.

You take pride in maintaining a classroom that is clean, organized, safe, and prepared throughout the day—not just at closing.

You are dependable, detail-oriented, receptive to feedback, and capable of independently managing classroom responsibilities while providing exceptional care.

Most importantly, you understand that caring for infants requires constant awareness, sound judgment, compassion, and accountability.
