Nursery Attendant - Sunday Mornings
Overland Park Christian Church seeks to fill the position of Nursery Attendant for Sunday morning worship and occasional evening church activities. Please click here to email your interest in this position.
Responsibilities include:
Greeting children and their caregivers, caring for children during church events (including worship), organizing toys and supplies, cleaning toys and supplies, keeping the nursery clean and welcoming.
The schedule is two-three Sundays per month from 9:15am-12:00 p.m. (or so), and occasionally during the week for church events or certain holidays. Our nursery coordinator will provide the schedule with other nursery attendants. Currently we have three and looking to hire a fourth. Sunday morning worship begins at 10:30 a.m. and typically lasts an hour, but on occasion might go longer, so 12:15 p.m. might be the end time on occasion after pick-up and clean-up, but most weeks you will be gone by 12:00noon.
Our top priority as nursery/childcare provider at Overland Park Christian Church (OPCC) is to provide a safe space for children while their caregivers are in a class, worship, or a meeting. We accomplish this by nurturing, engaging with, and loving each child. Church may be one of the first places a child separates from his/her parents which can cause some feelings of unease. It is our hope to help child and caregiver feel secure and safe.
Personal Christian faith of our nursery employees IS NOT a requirement. We do expect our caregivers to maintain a Christ-like attitude toward children, their caregivers, and peers. If you are unfamiliar with the person and witness of Jesus, this means we accept all children and adults for who they are, deserving of respect and grace, regardless of faith. We are a welcoming community, including varying orientations and family make-up and expect our staff to express this level of welcome.
Our faith community is guided by Jesus' welcome of children, that we find in the Bible, Matthew 19:14:
"Allow the children to come to me," Jesus said. "Don't forbid them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these children." (Common English Bible)
Desired Qualifications:
Compensation is $10.30 / hour and is paid on the quarter hour. We offer direct deposit on the 15th and last day of each month.
