      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Monett, MO) in Apr 2013

      Interview

      VERY simple hiring process. Basically just asked if I liked working with children and if I had any experience with taking care of small children and infants. Asked if I was CPR certified (which is required). Asked what schedule I could work, and if it would conflict with my schooling or not.
