COVID UPDATE:

At this time, we are seeing a significant decrease in childcare jobs where parents are open to hiring non-vaccinated caregivers. We do feel it is our responsibility to let you know that this would impact your ability to likely keep your schedule full on the days you are available and be more susceptible to job cancelations. We are not saying there won’t be jobs available, and there are requests that do not specify a vaccinated caregiver, but it may require you to be more flexible in your schedule.
