Would you like to make a difference in a child’s life?

At Jeremiah’s Place, our families leave a mark on our hearts and minds, and hopefully, we will do the same for them. Jeremiah’s Place protects children and strengthens families by providing a safe haven of respite, health, renewal, and support for children when their families are experiencing a critical need for childcare.

If you’re passionate about helping others and working in a supportive, welcoming, and empathic environment, we would love to talk to you about joining our team.

Therapeutic Childcare Staff are responsible for providing a safe and developmentally appropriate therapeutic environment to minimize the adverse effects of a stressful situation or traumatic experience of children in crisis. They are responsible for managing the childcare of children visiting our short-term emergency childcare center. Children visiting Jeremiah's Place may have had difficult backgrounds and experiences, so staff need to understand the effects of trauma and child development.

Recent graduates and college students are encouraged to apply. Applicants should also have experience with caring for children with special needs.
