Part Time to Full Time
Mid Level

Pay range: $17.50 to $18.50 an hour, includes sibling care bonuses, & guaranteed mileage reimbursement for each shift

In our community of honoring essential families and frontline workers, the need and importance of childcare givers has taken on a new necessity. Families are experiencing changes and our children are needing care---their village may be different but one thing remains the same--safe, secure, and engaging care for our children is key! If nurturing is in your nature, please join our team of caregivers to help our local community.

You focus on fun work with children. We do the work to support you through a caring team and amazing opportunities.

When you’re a child's caregiver, you’re not just taking care of a child. You’re inspiring them with the very best in you.

You’ll get to:

  • Be a Role Model – Change a mood with a smile. Bring calm to chaos. Show ‘em how it’s done.
  • Be Playful – Hey, it’s fun! You get to be a kid again and share everything you loved doing—riddles, card games, treasure hunts, neighborhood baseball. Yup—all in your job description.
  • Be helpful – Many parents are overwhelmed with their daily schedules and now need to be parents, teachers, workers, and more. You’ll help with that.
  • Be adventurous – What exciting discoveries lie ahead? Rediscover the world through a kid’s eyes.
  • Be in charge - You will manage the safety and care and create a fulfilling day for children who will appreciate the comfort and care you bring.


Compensation + Benefits:

  • Paid training + professional development
  • All work will be within 15-20 miles of your home.


About you:

  • You will be able to provide 3 references, 2 non-family-related childcare work (paid or unpaid), and 1 character reference (can be a friend, co-worker, housemate, etc.)
  • Must have the COVID-19 vaccine 
  • You have at least 1 year of experience with children ages 6 months – 12+ years (special needs experience is a plus!)
  • You have relatable childcare experience and the desire to work one-on-one with children in their homes, putting safety and engagement above all else
  • Your phone isn’t your life, and you can disconnect from it to connect with a child
  • You have a reliable vehicle and a valid driver's license 
  • At least 18 years of age or older
  • You’re already CPR certified or able to be so - we will reimburse you!
  • You are available any Monday - Friday for 4 to 8-hour shifts between 7 am and 7 pm

So, apply. Let’s talk about your schedule, your skills, and your paycheck.

*Please note that during this time of COVID-19, Jovie expects all employees to follow CDC guidelines and ensure best hygiene practices when working and in their personal time. This family is following these recommended guidelines cautiously and conservatively and expects the caregiver to do the same to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026
Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
