Payroll Grade: 11 FLSA Status: Non-Exempt

Reports to: Director of Extended Day Care Program

Nature of Position: The typical school day does not compute to an adult's typical workday. To fill in the gap of time, some working parents choose to send their kids to an extended school day care program headed by a team of care providers. As the job title implies, their first job is to take care of kids.

Job Summary: The main duties for the before or after school care attendat is to supervise the activities for the children. This will include helping with homework, snacks, and playtime. Before and after school care atendants need to be able to resonds to basic emergencies and look out for the children's welfare while in their care. Attendants will also be responsible for maintaining a clean and orderly space as well as keeping daily logs updated. Typical activities are listed below.

Playtime: After school is over, school-age kids are usually ready for a little rest, relaxation and fun. One of the main duties for after-school care attendants is planning and supervising activities for kids. This can mean fun play such as arts and crafts, or activities that focus on skills in sports, music or dance. Children in after-school care spend a lot of time outside the home and away from parents, so it's important that during these activities attendants keep a close eye on the kids, watching out for any behavioral or emotional issues they may need to discuss with parents.

Snacks: Most kids like to eat and they're typically pretty hungry after a long day at school. As such, after-school care providers are often responsible for planning and serving snacks and meals for kids. They may need to prepare food and drinks, clean dishes and put away food. Depending on the environment, providers may also be responsible for getting the kids to help serve and clean up after eating.

Schoolwork: Some after-care settings are located in schools, and some after-care attendants double as tutors or educational helpers. They may coordinate with teachers to provide additional support for kids outside the classroom, helping with reading, math or other subjects. In other settings, after-school attendants may simply ensure that kids get their homework done.

Safety: As the responsible adults in the room, after-school attendants need to able to respond to basic emergencies and to look out for children's welfare while in their care. Care attendants are often trained in CPR and basic first aid, which may be required upon hiring or for licensing. Care providers need to be apprised of state laws on child safety procedures and creating a safe environment for children. If kids need to take medications, the care providers also need to know the protocols involved and know how to respond to a health emergency.

Logistics: Taking care of children's needs is an after-care attendant's first duty -- but she often has other logistical aspects to her job. Attendants may be responsible for setting up and breaking down the care space, especially when the after-care program takes place in a school gym, cafeteria or other space used for different purposes during the day. They may also be responsible for writing daily, weekly or monthly reports of children's behaviors and habits, and communicating that information to parents and educators. Some attendants also keep track of payments, and help schedule the right amount of staff for the number of kids attending the program.
