We are recruiting qualified early childhood educators in the Northern Beaches areas to run their own Family Day Care service from home. You set your own days, hours and fees, and you care for a small group of children with support from our coordination team. This also suits parents who want to stay at home with their own children while they work.

About The Infants' Home (the Approved Provider) The Infants' Home has supported children and families since 1874. We are a not-for-profit, integrated child and family service. Our services bring together early childhood education and care, family day care, early intervention, clinical services, family support and community programs. Today we run three Early Childhood Education and Care Centres and Family Day Care Sydney Wide, which serves the greater Sydney region.

About Family Day Care Sydney Wide (the Scheme) Family Day Care Sydney Wide is a scheme run by The Infants' Home as the Approved Provider. It has provided quality education and care to families across Sydney for more than 40 years and supports more than 120 Family Day Care services.

About the role As a Family Day Care educator, you provide education and care for a small group of children in your own home. You build your own routines and learning experiences and form long term relationships with children and families in your local community.
