- Have the ability to engage children through the use of songs, puppets and creative movement.
- Able to follow strict protocol to ensure the safe interaction between children and animals.
- Able to follow detailed instructions from supervisors.
- Able to navigate the public transportation system in all types of weather.

Must be willing to be fingerprinted and have a background check performed.

This is a year round position and REQUIRES at least a one year commitment.
