Victoria Kuglitsch Mathieu, YDC North Teacher said, "The Y has been more than a job for me, it's a second family. I have found that the Y is always there to help anyone in need no matter what the situation is. The best part of my job is that I enjoy being able to come to work everyday and watch how the children grow and develop as they learn through play over a period of time."


In this role, you can look forward to:

• Driving the YMCA van to the North childcare location to pick up and deliver food to our Main location
• Preparing food portions and afternoon snack items for classrooms
