ManagementFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Position summary (maybe About the role). Essential Functions (Responsibilities). Qualifications (multiple: YMCA competencies, then Qualifications list). Work Environment & Physical Demands (maybe Requirements? Could be Skills? Actually it's more about physical demands). There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create those sections.
We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none.

So we should not create those sections.
We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
Thus we can have:
About the role
with position summary paragraph.
Responsibilities
with list of essential functions.
Qualifications
with maybe sub-sections? But we can just list qualifications as list items. Could separate YMCA competencies and other qualifications? Might be okay to combine.
We could also have Skills
for skills like interpersonal, communication, etc. But the posting includes many skill-like items. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine qualifications and skills into one Qualifications section.
Work Environment & Physical Demands could be a section like Requirements? But we have no explicit Requirements heading. Could treat as "Work Environment". But we need to use allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could map Work Environment & Physical Demands to "Requirements" or "Skills". Probably "Requirements" fits: physical demands, age, education, certifications, background check. So we can have a Requirements section.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Now extract content.
Position summary: "This position supports the work of the YMCA of Coastal Carolina, a leading nonprofit, charitable organization committed to strengthening community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Child Watch Attendant for the YMCA of Coastal Carolina provides direction for the children in the child watch area, along with a safe, healthy, welcoming and entertaining environment for children of our members and guests."
We can put that as a paragraph.
Essential Functions list:
- Cares for participating children ages infant and older.
- Perform opening and closing procedures.
- Maintains a safe environment through cleaning and sanitizing toys, organizing the toys and equipment and removing any broken or defective toys or equipment and notifying supervisor.
- Cultivates positive relationships and maintains effective communication with parents.
- Engages parents and connects them to the YMCA.
- Maintains required program records through ensuring all children are properly signed in and out.
- Attend all trainings and staff meetings, as necessary.
- Performs other duties as assigned.
We need to keep each as list item.
Qualifications: There's YMCA Competencies (Mission Advancement, Collaboration, Operational Effectiveness, Personal Growth) each with bullet-like sentences. Then after that: "Commitment To Child Safety" with bullet points. Then "Qualifications" list: Must be at least 18 years of age. High school diploma or equivalent preferred. Previous experience caring for infants, toddlers, or young children in a childcare, educational, camp, or recreational setting preferred. Demonstrated ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children of varying ages and developmental stages. Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to build positive relationships with children, parents, members, and coworkers. Ability to remain calm, exercise sound judgment, and respond appropriately in emergency or challenging situations. Commitment to providing exceptional customer service and creating a welcoming, inclusive environment for all families. Ability to work a flexible schedule, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed. Current CPR, First Aid, AED, and Child Abuse Prevention certifications, or the ability to obtain required certifications within established YMCA timeframes. Must successfully complete all required background screenings and comply with YMCA child protection policies and procedures.
We could combine all these into a qualifications list.
Work Environment & Physical Demands: list of physical demands etc. Could be part of Requirements.
Thus Requirements section: list items: Must be at least 18 years of age. High school diploma or equivalent preferred. Previous experience caring for infants, toddlers, or young children in a childcare, educational, camp, or recreational setting preferred. Demonstrated ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children of varying ages and developmental stages. Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to build positive relationships with children, parents, members, and coworkers. Ability to remain calm, exercise sound judgment, and respond appropriately in emergency or challenging situations. Commitment to providing exceptional customer service and creating a welcoming, inclusive environment for all families. Ability to work a flexible schedule, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed. Current CPR, First Aid, AED, and Child Abuse Prevention certifications, or the ability to obtain required certifications within established YMCA timeframes. Must successfully complete all required background screenings and comply with YMCA child protection policies and procedures. Work is performed primarily in an active indoor childcare setting with frequent interaction with children, families, and staff. Regularly required to stand, walk, bend, kneel, crouch, reach, and move throughout the childcare area. Must be able to lift, carry, or assist children and equipment weighing up to 40 pounds and occasionally more with assistance. Ability to actively supervise children by maintaining visual and auditory awareness at all times. Frequently required to sit on the floor, transition quickly between activities, and participate in age-appropriate games and activities. Must be able to respond promptly to emergencies, including evacuating children when necessary. Ability to communicate effectively in person and by telephone. May be exposed to moderate noise levels, cleaning products, and common childhood illnesses in a group childcare environment. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.
But note some of these overlap with qualifications list. Might be duplication. However we must preserve all substantive info; we can keep them but maybe combine to avoid duplication. However the instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must keep everything, but we can combine similar items if they are same? They are not exactly same; some are repeated. Safer to keep both sections: Qualifications (including YMCA competencies, commitment to child safety, and the qualifications list) and Requirements (work environment & physical demands). But there is overlap: some items appear in both (like age, education, experience, certifications, background check). If we keep both, we would be duplicating content, which is okay as we preserve all info, but might be considered redundant. The instruction didn't forbid duplication, just said preserve all substantive info. Duplication is preserving info, not removing. It's okay.
But we should aim for a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having two sections is fine.
Thus:
