Childcare Floater – Be the Extra Set of Hands That Makes the Day Better!
Love working with children but enjoy a little variety in your day? This might be the perfect position for you!
At Precious Cargo Preschool & Childcare, our Float Teachers are an important part of keeping our classrooms happy, supported, and running smoothly. Instead of spending every day in the same classroom, you'll get to work throughout our program, helping teachers, building relationships with children, covering breaks, jumping into activities, and stepping in wherever you're needed most.
No two days are exactly the same!
What You'll Do:
As a Childcare Floater, you'll:
  • Jump into different classrooms and quickly become part of the fun
  • Engage with children through play, art, stories, music, outdoor time, and everyday learning
  • Help teachers keep classrooms safe, organized, and running smoothly
  • Cover teacher breaks, lunches, planning time, and absences
  • Assist with meals, diapering/toileting, rest time, transitions, and classroom routines
  • Help with cleaning, sanitizing, and resetting classrooms
  • Build positive relationships with children throughout the center
  • Be the reliable extra set of hands our team can count on when things get busy
Who We're Looking For:
We're looking for someone who is dependable, flexible, positive, and genuinely enjoys being around children.
You'll be a great fit if you can walk into a classroom and think, “What can I do to help?” rather than waiting to be told what needs to be done.
You should be comfortable with busy days, changing plans, lots of movement, messy art projects, silly songs, playground adventures, and children who may decide you're their new best friend five minutes after meeting you.
Why You'll Love Being a Floater:
This is a great position for someone who loves variety! You'll get experience with different ages, classrooms, teachers, and teaching styles while becoming someone our entire center knows and loves.
It's also a fantastic opportunity to build your early childhood education experience and grow into future teaching or leadership opportunities.
Why Precious Cargo?
We're building a team of people who want to work hard, have fun, keep growing, and make a difference for children and families.
We value Integrity, Passion, Growth, Community, and FUN and we want our classrooms to be places where both children and teachers enjoy coming each day.
If you're the kind of person who jumps in, helps out, loves kids, and can bring positive energy wherever you go, we'd love to meet you!
