Kids Club Staff - Ipswich YMCA

Join Our Kids' Club Team - A Great Role for All Ages!

Are you looking to make a positive impact in your community while spending time with children in a fun, supportive environment? Whether you're starting your career in childcare or looking for a meaningful way to give back, our Kids' Club at the YMCA offers a perfect opportunity-including for retirees and senior citizens who enjoy working with kids and want a flexible, rewarding role!

About the Role:
As a Kids' Club Staff Member, you'll help create a safe, caring, and playful space for our youngest Y participants in our drop-in babysitting room.

While parents use the Y's facilities, you'll engage children through age-appropriate activities, play-based learning, and positive interactions that help them feel welcome and supported.

You'll also foster strong relationships with parents and families by creating a warm and friendly environment.

Why This Could Be a Great Fit for You:
This role is ideal for:


* Those looking to gain hands-on experience in early childhood care


* Older adults or retirees who love working with kids and are looking for a flexible, part-time opportunity


* Anyone looking to make a difference in their community in a fun and uplifting setting

What You'll Bring to the Team:


* Experience supervising children in play or structured settings


* A warm and welcoming demeanor


* An understanding of child development and the needs of infants through elementary-aged children


* Creativity and energy to engage kids in fun, safe, and meaningful ways


* Excellent communication and the ability to support positive behavior

Why Work at the Y?
At the YMCA, we value people of all ages and backgrounds.

In addition to a welcoming and mission-driven work environment, we offer:


* Free YMCA membership and discounts on programs


* Paid training and professional development opportunities


* Growth potential across our seven YMCA branches


* Retirement fund with a 12% company contribution (once vested, no match required)


* Sick time accrual for added flexibility

If you're enthusiastic, nurturing, and ready to be a part of a team that helps families thrive, we'd love to hear from you!
