About this Event

Each semester, the Office of Student & Community Relations hosts a meet-and-greet for area families in need of childcare and UVM students interested in a childcare job.
Children are welcomed and encouraged to attend!
There will be coat racks and stroller parking available - we recommend not bringing valuables as these areas will NOT be monitored.

Students: Only currently enrolled UVM students (Fall 2026) are eligible to attend the event as prospective childcare providers. Students start check in at 9:30AM.
PLEASE NOTE: International students on F-1 and J-1 student visas are not eligible to provide childcare because of federal regulations.

As UVM affiliates, we cannot take on the role of holding, exchanging, or advertising the particular childcare needs of parents in the community, or the particular childcare availability and/or qualifications of our students. We can host Childcare Minglers where we bring students and parents together so that they can meet face to face and exchange information if they so choose. We do recommend that parents check references of the students who attended the Childcare Mingler and use whatever screening process they would normally use when hiring a childcare provider.
