We are a close-knit San Francisco family with two young children, now-2 and 4 years old looking for an experienced childcare provider/nanny to provide f/t care until October 2008 (Monday - Friday 7:30 a.m. 5:30 p.m.) reducing hours to part-time status Monday - Friday 12:30 - 5:30 PM in October when both children will be in preschool.  We have some flexibility to adjust hours before October to accommodate a part-time schedule if needed.  Your responsibilities include planning and implementing age appropriate activities for both children and light housecleaning.  We live in a neighborhood with other young children very near - and lots of getting together in the back yard for play happens!  Our children are also avid walkers to the neighborhood cafe, grocery stores and regularly take an "adventure" on the bus to various activities and playground in the City. 

 

This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate student, particularly interested in speech/language development as both our children are experiencing mild delays in this area.  Our ideal candidate is someone that wants to settle in with a family for several years - or as long as possible - and be "like family" in partnership with us in raising our children.

Hello!

I'd like to extend this job opportunity to any recent or upcoming SFSU graduates with a Bachelor's degree in a social science discipline or related field. I am the House Supervisor of a Crisis Stabilization and Assessment Home for Fred Finch Youth Center. Fred Finch is a non-profit organization that has various programs throughout California working with severely emotionally disturbed and developmentally delayed children. The position I am looking to fill is that of Mental Health Counselor working in Specialized Residential Services. Our main campus is in Oakland and we currently have two residential programs on this campus in need of new counselors, Avalon house (long term residential treatment facility) and New Yosemite house (crisis house).

Fred Finch offers a wonderful opportunity to learn and experience first-hand examples of kids struggling with mental health and developmental challenges. I know a lot of graduates have grad school in mind, and this is exactly the kind of experience grad schools like to see. I myself started out as a Mental Health Counselor two years ago and came in with very little experience with this population, but now I supervisor my own group home!

You'll learn a lot about behavior modification, positive interventions, group therapy, abnormal psych, milieu dynamics, case management, the juvenile justice system, trauma histories and the impact they have on children's behaviors; and you'll get to be an important part of the lives of some great kids!

I have attached the standard Job Advertisement which includes information on how to apply, but I am also happy to answer any questions about the job and who we work with and what we do. I can be reached by email at adrianamoody@fredfinch.org or phoned at 510-482-2244 x.278. I hope you'll consider joining our team.
