Part-Time Nursery Attendant - St. Paul's Chestnut Hill

Details

OBJECTIVE

To provide childcare for infants, toddlers and preschoolers in the Nursery at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on Sundays and other occasions, so that children are provided a safe and loving environment.

NATURE AND SCOPE

The Nursery Attendant (NA) is a part-time, occasional worker, appointed by and accountable to the Rector. The Rector may from time-to-time delegate supervision of the NA to another staff member or to a church volunteer.


The NA is to be present from 8:30am-12:15pm on Sunday morning during worship, education, and fellowship. The NA, in consultation with the Rector, is also called upon to be present on other occasions, for instance, certain mid-week parish education or fellowship events.


The NA must provide an inviting, caring, and safe environment that inspires the trust of parents and a positive response of the children entrusted to the Nursery. The NA must be able to deal creatively and responsibly with emergencies, and to work collaboratively with parents, supervision, and church volunteers. Dependability in attendance is an essential job requirement.
