Infant Caregiver or Aide

If Babies Are Your Happy Place, You May Have Found Your Job

Some people simply have a gift with babies. You know how to soothe a fussy little one, make bottle time feel unhurried, turn tummy time into an adventure, and celebrate every new smile, sound, wiggle, and milestone like the big accomplishment it is.

If caring for infants is the part of childcare you love most, we'd love to meet you.

Kamaʻāina Kids is looking for a nurturing Infant Caregiver or Aide to join our preschool team in Waikīkī. You'll spend your days providing warm, responsive care for some of our littlest keiki while helping them feel safe, loved, comfortable, and ready to explore their world.

Full-Time, Monday-Friday, 7:45a-4:45p

What Infant Care Looks Like Here

Babies aren't following a lesson plan on the clock. They're learning all day long through relationships, movement, sounds, touch, and the people caring for them.

You'll:

• Provide attentive, nurturing care throughout the day

• Feed, diaper, comfort, hold, and care for infants according to their individual needs and routines

• Create a safe, calm, and loving environment where babies can thrive

• Talk, read, sing, play, and interact with infants throughout the day

• Encourage tummy time, movement, sensory exploration, and age-appropriate play

• Learn each baby's individual cues, personality, preferences, and routine

• Celebrate developmental milestones, from reaching and rolling to those exciting first steps

• Keep families informed about their child's day and build trusting relationships with parents

• Work alongside a supportive preschool team that understands just how important infant care is

The best part?

The days can be busy and a little messy. 😊

But there are also sleepy cuddles, gummy smiles, baby giggles, first words, tiny hands reaching for you, and the chance to be an important part of a child's very first year of learning and development.

Experience Caring for Babies? We Want to Hear About It.

We're especially interested in applicants who already feel comfortable caring for infants and young toddlers.

Your experience might come from a:

• Preschool or childcare center

• Infant or toddler program

• Church nursery

• Nanny or professional caregiving position

For our Infant Caregiver position, we generally look for 12–24 months of experience working with children under age three in a licensed childcare setting. Infant/Toddler training is also required, but you can complete it with our help.

If you're earlier in your early childhood career, an Aide position may also be available, depending on your qualifications and experience.
