At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves.

Can you multitask like you are a Hollywood Power Agent all while keeping calm, level-headed and nice?
Do you have the stamina to keep up (Literally) with 4 - 12 year old's bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press the equivalent of a kindergartner? (Just Kidding -- but can you lift up to 30lbs?)
