This position provides Nursery care for infants and toddlers ages 0 - 6 years on Sunday mornings from September through mid-June.

We work to maintain a ratio of 1:4, helpers to children. Our average attendance on a Sunday morning in the nursery varies, but is often from 2 to 8 children. Occasionally, there may be a few older children, under special circumstances. A parent will be requested to stay if the number is higher than 8 children total.

Sign in each child as they arrive. The attendance sheet is located on the table inside the nursery. Children are also required to be signed out when exiting the nursery.
If the family is new, please have them complete a Visitor Form and leave the completed form next to the sign-in, sign-out sheet.
When time permits, toys and surfaces should be wiped clean, and any unwanted toys discarded or given to the Assistant Minister. Please return all toys to their proper bins/shelves before exiting the nursery for the morning.
Inform the Assistant Minister if there is something missing or needed for the nursery.
