Job Description:

Adult Focused Programs (AFP) provides Latinx adults with tools and opportunities to help pave a better future for themselves and their families in the Roaring Fork Valley. AFP is comprised of two distinct programs: Lifelong Learning and Parent Mentor. Through the Lifelong Learning program, Valley Settlement offers English, Spanish literacy, math, computer skills, and more to help provide a catalyst for further education and professional advancement. Through the Parent Mentor Program, adults volunteer inside the Roaring Fork School District elementary schools creating a strong relationship between Latinx families and public schools.

We know that a lack of babysitting and transportation can be a big barrier for parents pursuing their education or volunteer opportunities; that is why babysitting services are provided for adult programs to those who need it, freeing up parents to focus on their classes. The AFP Babysitter is responsible for supervising and caring for participants’ children in a fun and safe environment, while they attend adult programs.

• 6 months+ experience in babysitting
• High School Diploma or GED

• CPR training (Valley Settlement can provide this training)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• The ability to lift 35+ lbs.
• Have and maintain a valid Colorado driver’s license
• Available and reliable vehicle for traveling to different locations

Physical Requirements:

The job duties require an employee to handle the physical demands of the work, including prolonged periods of standing, frequent bending and sitting on the floor.
