Child Care Substitute Application

Child Care Substitute Application

Thank you for your interest in serving as an On-Call Nursery Caregiver Substitute at Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. Our nursery is often a child's very first experience of our church community. We strive to create a safe, joyful, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every child is welcomed exactly as they are and every family feels a true sense of belonging. This is a flexible, paid, on-call position. While substitute needs vary from year to year, our nursery has typically needed approximately 6–8 substitute hours annually. Applicants selected to move forward will complete a background check at no cost. We look forward to getting to know you!
