It's a high-trust, high-impact position for educators who can step into any classroom, connect quickly with children and teachers, and help the day flow smoothly - wherever support is needed most. Children feel safest when the adults around them are calm, confident, and familiar - and Floaters play a critical role in creating that sense of security.
