Babysitter Jobs in USA with Visa Sponsorship

Overview:

There’s no better place to spend your days than surrounded by kids who are curious, energetic, and full of wonder — and few childcare programs offer the warmth, variety, and professional support of Small Fry Camp at Boyne Mountain Resort. As a Small Fry Camp Childcare Specialist, you’ll create a safe, nurturing, and developmentally rich experience for children ages 2-4 in an all-day childcare program that also includes ski lessons led by our ski instructors. Many of our young guests join us only once or a few times each winter, so you’ll play a key role in helping each child — and each parent — feel comfortable, confident, and excited from the very first drop-off.

Everything we do at Boyne Mountain is guided by our core values — L.E.A.D.S.: Long-Term Thinking, Excellence in Execution, Attitude is Everything, Develop Great People, and Serve First. In this role, you’ll live those values every time you comfort a child on their first day away from home, help a toddler get bundled up for a ski lesson and welcome them back with a story and a snack, or make a family feel truly seen and cared for. As a Boyne Mountain team member, you’ll also enjoy ski passes, golf passes, waterpark passes, and discounts on food, beverages, retail, daycare, and much more.

Responsibilities:

• Serve First - Provide attentive, hands-on supervision and care for children at all times, indoors and outdoors, ensuring their physical and emotional safety. Review each family’s care information at drop-off and consistently uphold it, including dietary needs, nap routines, toileting needs, behavioral guidance preferences, and screen time restrictions — because every family trusts you with what matters most to them.

• Excellence in Execution - Follow the established daily schedule, including the transitions between childcare time and ski lesson time, coordinating with ski instructors on timing. Maintain accurate daily attendance, check-in and check-out records, and required documentation, and release children only to authorized adults. Maintain a clean and sanitary environment at all times, and adhere to all health, safety, and resort policies and procedures.

• Develop Great People - Plan and facilitate age-appropriate activities, such as free play, crafts, songs, stories, quiet time, and supervised outdoor play in the snow, that support children’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Communicate openly, professionally, and respectfully with families, ski instructors, and colleagues about each child’s day, including how they did in their ski lesson, and any concerns. Participate actively in staff meetings, training sessions, and professional development opportunities.

• Long-Term Thinking - Quickly build warm, trust-based relationships with children and families, whether they are brand-new to Small Fry Camp or returning for another winter day, so that every child feels safe and every parent feels confident leaving their little one with us. Report any safety concerns, incidents, or unusual behaviors to leadership promptly, keeping the well-being of every child at the center of every decision.

• Attitude is Everything - This role puts you in the middle of the action — busy, joyful, and occasionally unpredictable, especially on a child’s first day in a new place. You bring patience, warmth, and steady can-do energy to every shift, modeling calm and positivity for the children in your care and the team around you.

• Help children ease into the day and through separation from their parents, offering comfort, reassurance, and engaging distractions for children who are shy, homesick, or new to group care.

• Assist children with personal care routines, including toileting, diapering, handwashing, meals, snacks, and nap or rest periods, and support meal preparation, feeding, and clean-up as needed.

• Respond calmly and constructively to behavioral challenges using approved guidance techniques.

• Help children get dressed for and out of their winter gear for ski lessons and outdoor play, including boots, snow pants, jackets, mittens, and helmets, and check regularly for warmth and comfort. Keep each child’s belongings labeled and organized.

• Hand children off to ski instructors and receive them back at designated times, completing an accurate headcount and sharing relevant notes (such as nerves, bathroom needs, or tiredness) at every handoff. Ski instruction itself is provided by our ski instructors.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 18 years of age or older.

• High school diploma or equivalent required; coursework or a degree in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, or a related field is preferred.

• Prior experience working with children ages 2-4 in a childcare, preschool, or educational setting preferred; experience in a resort or drop-in care environment is a plus.

• Current CPR and First Aid certification, or willingness to obtain upon hire.

• Knowledge of child development principles and age-appropriate practices for toddlers and preschoolers.

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to build rapport quickly with children and families meeting you for the first time, problem-solving ability, and attention to detail.

• Patience, dependability, and a genuine passion for working with young children.

• Ability to maintain composure and professionalism in dynamic or high-pressure situations.

• Must successfully pass a background check.

• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds (including children and gear), sit, stand, bend, kneel, and move quickly as needed to maintain child safety — and to remain active throughout the duration of a shift indoors and outdoors in cold winter weather conditions.

If you’re someone who lights up around kids, takes deep pride in their care, and wants to make a little one’s day away from home a happy memory — Small Fry Camp at Boyne Mountain is ready for you.
