  • Organized! Maintain inventory of food and supplies and order more when needed.
  • Helpful! Assist in classrooms as needed as an Assistant Teacher/Floater.
Job Requirements:
  • Work experience in cooking and/or food preparation for multiple individuals in a childcare facility, preferred.
  • A willingness to learn and adhere to all current state and local regulations.
  • Flexibility as to the hours and schedule of work.
