• Certifications: CPR/First Aid preferred (we’ll provide if needed). Must pass a background check for childcare programs.

• Weekly Salary: $625/week (approx. $2,500/month)
• Bonus Opportunities: Quarterly incentive bonuses based on attendance and engagement.
• Paid Training & Certifications: We’ll invest in your professional development.
