What You'll Do

Create a Safe, Fun, Engaging Environment

• Supervise students during free play, organized activities, outdoor time, and enrichment programs
• Create a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere where every child feels they belong
• Enforce ASAP rules respectfully and consistently to maintain a safe, positive environment for all students
• Engage actively with students - play games, facilitate activities, have conversations, and build relationships
• Support students' social-emotional needs - help resolve conflicts, encourage kindness, and model positive behavior

Facilitate Activities & Enrichment

You'll help bring ASAP's daily programming to life - from outdoor games to creative projects to enrichment classes.

• Set up, implement, and clean up indoor and outdoor activities
• Participate actively in ASAP activities - you're not just watching; you're playing, creating, and engaging alongside students
• Support enrichment programming by transporting students to classes, monitoring sign-ins, and ensuring smooth transitions
• Be flexible in your assignments - some days you'll be on the playground, other days helping with arts and crafts or monitoring homework time

Provide Logistical & Administrative Support

You'll help keep ASAP running smoothly through daily operational tasks.

• Check in students as they arrive from the school day
• Handle carpool and walk-out procedures, ensuring students get home safely
• Monitor late pick-ups and provide care for students waiting for families
• Answer phones and communicate with parents as needed
• Maintain accurate attendance records and clock in/out daily
• Coordinate with ASAP leadership regarding student concerns, behavior issues, or family communication needs

Collaborate & Grow

You'll be part of a supportive team committed to providing excellent care for Lovett students.

• Attend staff training to learn ASAP procedures, child safety protocols, and activity planning
• Participate in staff meetings to collaborate on programming and problem-solve together
• Communicate openly with colleagues and supervisors about student needs and program improvements

Who You Are

You bring:

• At least 21 years old with a high school diploma or equivalent (required)
• Minimum 1 year of experience working with children in any capacity (childcare, teaching, coaching, camp counseling, babysitting, etc.)
• Reliability and punctuality - you show up on time, every time, ready to work
• Strong communication skills - you can talk with children, parents, and colleagues clearly and respectfully
• Ability to enforce rules with kindness - you're firm but warm, maintaining boundaries while building trust

You are:

• Kid-focused – You genuinely enjoy spending time with elementary-aged children and find their energy contagious rather than exhausting
• Playful and engaging – You're willing to get on the floor, join a game of tag, build with LEGOs, or help with an art project - you don't just supervise from the sidelines
• Inclusive and welcoming – You make sure every child feels seen, valued, and included, regardless of their background, abilities, or interests
• Calm under pressure – You can handle the controlled chaos of 50+ energetic kids with patience and good humor
• Flexible and adaptable – You can pivot quickly when plans change, help wherever you're needed, and don't get flustered by the unexpected
• Team-oriented – You collaborate well with colleagues, communicate openly, and pitch in without being asked
• Assertive and self-motivated – You take initiative, solve problems proactively, and don't need constant direction
• Resourceful – You can think on your feet, make do with what's available, and find creative solutions
• Professional – You maintain appropriate boundaries, model positive behavior, and represent Lovett well to families
• Dependable – Your teammates and students can count on you to show up, follow through, and do your part

You have:

• A positive attitude even on challenging days
• Energy and stamina to keep up with active children for 4+ hours
• Patience with repetitive questions, minor conflicts, and the developmental realities of childhood
• Cultural awareness and commitment to creating an inclusive environment for all students
• Common sense and good judgment about child safety and appropriate interactions
• A willingness to do what it takes to get the job done - whether that's cleaning up spilled paint, comforting a homesick child, or staying a few extra minutes until the last family arrives
