You would need to be:
• A good communicator, especially with children and guardians of various ages and backgrounds
• Enthusiastic and reliable
• Interested in working with children
• Interested in history/arts and an ability to share it.
No experience is necessary, though it is useful if you have had:
• Customer service experience
• Experience working with children
Available shifts will be Saturdays and Sundays 11.30 – 1.30 or 1.30 – 3.30 and select weekdays during school holidays.
