About The Position

Under the direct supervision of a licensed therapist, this position will provide childcare services for current Cornerstone clients while they are on-site participating in treatment. Childcare onsite removes barriers for individuals who are parenting and trying to engage in treatment services and allows parents to focus on their treatment, knowing their children will be supervised in a safe environment. The position requires a trauma-informed approach to childcare, as many of the children and parents presenting for services at Cornerstone have a history of trauma and/or behavioral health challenges. This position requires maintaining clear boundaries and prioritizing safety, even when children exhibit challenging behaviors.
