About This Position

Position Title:
Part Time Lead Childcare Teacher
Publish Date:
03/26/2026
Brief Overview:
Are you a teacher or childcare provider looking for well-paid, meaningful and flexible work? Have you worked in early childcare or with elementary-aged students? At Patch Caregiving, we offer backup childcare to hourly workers through their employers because we believe no one should have to choose between showing up to work and showing up for their families.

Our care spaces are conveniently located within parents' place of employment for easy drop-off and pick-up. We are seeking kind, motivated, empathetic teachers to manage our play-based, multi-age care room in Middletown, PA.

We are looking for a lead childcare teacher to cover the day shifts from ~10 am- 5 pm every other Sunday and 2 days per week (Monday-Friday).

Please note: This is a solo caregiver role. You will be the only staff member present on site with the children during your shift. Your director will be available by phone or message at all times, but will not be physically on site. We're looking for someone who is comfortable owning the room independently.
Listing Expiration Date:
05/10/2026
Job Responsibilities:
Care for and ensure safety of all children in our play-based care room (ages 2 -12)
Respond to dynamics and tricky behaviors in the care room with kindness and age-appropriate conflict management skills
Communicate respectfully with the children’s parents to share regular updates, and contact them in the case of an emergency
Create curriculum and plan activities to lead with children
Collect and manage paperwork and other records for parents and children as needed
Collaborate with other teachers, Center Director(s), and staff members to create an optimal care environment that is clean, safe, inclusive, and fun
Meet with Center Director(s) on a regular basis for check-ins and professional development
Engage in ongoing training on a variety of childcare and safety related topics
