  • Must meet DCFS standards for experience and education.
  • High School Diploma or equivalent.
  • Strong communication skills — both written and verbal.

  • Ability to actively engage with children, including sitting on the floor, playing on the playground, and participating in physical activities.
  • Most importantly — a genuine love for children !
