Before & After Care Counselor
Reports To: Childcare Director (day-to-day direction from the Assistant Childcare Manager)
Department: Childcare — Before & After Care
Status: Part-Time, Hourly — split shift (AM drop-off / PM pick-up)
Mission
Before & After Care Counselors provide safe, reliable transportation, supervision, and engagement for children in Crown's Before & After School Care program — supporting morning school drop-off, afternoon school pick-up, homework help, snack time, and recreational activity in a positive, structured environment.
This is an entry-level, hourly role. You may also be asked to support other areas of Crown — see One Team & Flexibility below.
Areas of Responsibility
- Morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up transportation to and from school.
- Before- and after-school supervision, homework assistance, snack, and recreational activities.
- Daily safety, ratio compliance, and required documentation.
What This Role Owns
Safely transport children to and from school for morning and afternoon programming, following all Crown safety and vehicle procedures. Maintain accurate rider counts and attendance records for every drop-off and pick-up.
Program Supervision
Supervise children during before- and after-school hours, maintaining required staff-to-child ratios at all times. Provide the daily afternoon snack, support homework completion, and lead or support recreational activities.
Safety & Compliance
Follow all licensing, ratio, and safety requirements at all times. Complete required daily attendance, incident, and check-in/check-out documentation.
Family Experience
Greet children and parents warmly at drop-off and pick-up. Communicate routine updates directly to parents; route anything beyond routine to the Assistant Childcare Manager or Childcare Director.
One Team & Flexibility
This is a flexible, hourly role by design. You may also be scheduled to support other areas of Crown as needed — this flexibility is a standard part of the role, not an occasional exception.
What to Report Immediately
Bring these to the Assistant Childcare Manager or Childcare Director right away — don't wait, and don't try to handle them alone:
- Any safety, injury, or transportation incident.
- Any behavior concern beyond normal redirection.
- Any parent complaint or concern.
- Any staffing or ratio shortfall.
- Anything that doesn't feel right, even if you're not sure it's a real problem.
Performance Standard
Success in this role is measured by: reliability and punctuality for transportation and shift coverage, safe and consistent supervision and ratio compliance, quality of engagement with children, and professional communication with parents.
Reporting
You are responsible for confirming your schedule in advance, notifying the Assistant Childcare Manager or Childcare Director as early as possible of any conflict, and completing all required attendance and safety documentation on time.

Tips for Your Childcare Worker Job Search
Tailor your resume to age groups
Hiring managers scan for the age groups you've worked with, so list infants, toddlers, preschool-age, or school-age children explicitly. A resume that names the developmental stage beats one that just says 'childcare experience' every time.
List every certification you hold
CPR, First Aid, Child Development Associate credentials, and state-specific licensing all belong in a dedicated certifications section. Applicant tracking systems often filter on these terms before a human ever reads your resume.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists childcare worker openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter by setting, not just title
Job titles vary wildly across the field: childcare aide, early childhood educator, family daycare provider, and nanny all describe similar work. Search by facility type or age group rather than title alone to avoid missing relevant openings.
Prepare a philosophy statement before interviews
Most childcare employers ask how you approach child development or discipline. Draft a two-sentence answer that names a specific method you use, such as positive reinforcement or play-based learning, so you don't improvise under pressure.
Follow up with a note about the children
After an interview, send a brief follow-up that references something specific the director mentioned about the children or program. It signals genuine interest in that setting, not just any job, which is what childcare employers are looking for.
Childcare Worker Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most childcare workers?
The companies hiring the most childcare workers right now include Childcare Network, The Learning Experience, and Chroma Early Learning Academy, with the largest share of openings in Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to be highest in areas with large populations of working families and limited public childcare funding.
How many childcare worker jobs are remote?
About 4% of childcare worker openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how hands-on most of the work is. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote arrangements include childcare program coordination, curriculum development, and family support coaching rather than direct child supervision roles.
How do you become a childcare worker?
Start by earning a high school diploma or GED, then complete CPR and First Aid certification, which most employers require before your first day. Gaining hands-on experience through volunteering, babysitting, or a part-time aide role strengthens your application. Pursuing a Child Development Associate credential significantly broadens the positions you qualify for and can lead to higher responsibility roles.
Can you get hired as a childcare worker with little experience?
Yes, many entry-level childcare aide and assistant positions are open to candidates with limited formal experience, especially if you can point to babysitting, volunteering with youth programs, or relevant coursework. Employers often prioritize your attitude, reliability, and genuine comfort with children over a long work history when hiring for support roles.
What does the childcare worker interview process look like?
Most childcare interviews involve a phone or video screen followed by an in-person meeting with a director or lead teacher. You'll typically be asked about your approach to child behavior, how you handle emergencies, and your experience with specific age groups. Some employers also do a brief paid trial shift or observed interaction with children before making an offer.
Where can I find and apply to childcare worker jobs?
You can find and apply to childcare worker jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that fit your experience, preferred setting, and location, then apply directly to each listing that matches what you're looking for.
