Job description
Quoted in full from The Breakie Bunch's job posting. Gavroche does not edit it.
At The Breakie Bunch, our infant teachers are basically superheroes… just with more bottles and a lot less sleep.
Your classroom is where trust begins. You’re the calm in the chaos, the safe place, the one who celebrates every tiny milestone like it’s the biggest win of the day.
A typical day includes:
- Snuggles, smiles, and yes… the occasional outfit change (yours and theirs)
- Creating a nurturing, safe, and loving environment
- Tracking feedings, naps, and milestones like a pro
- Talking, singing, and engaging—even when they can’t talk back yet
- Building strong relationships with families (this one matters A LOT)
We’re looking for someone who can lead with confidence, patience, and heart—while still jumping in and being part of a strong, supportive team.
You’ll thrive here if you:
- Are calm, patient, and deeply nurturing
- Can stay organized even when things get unpredictable
- Value teamwork and communication
- Believe encouragement matters just as much for coworkers as it does for kids

✨ Weekly paid planning time
