I start Tuesday for my childcare teacher role and I am beyond grateful and excited! I have been watching videos to help me better understand on what to expect and I love that you care so much for the babies ❤️ makes me feel so warm to know that they have someone great to look up too. ❤️
This is the very reason I'm watching this! It's a shift from caregiver to chronically ill seniors. I've done it for about 12 years. It's a pleasure to be able to assist them during their final years, but it gets heavy. It's definitely time for a change!
Hoping to become a daycare worker in the near future and help break some of the stigma of male childcare workers. I love kids and sometimes feel like I'm still a kid myself!
This is something I really want to get into after I graduate! Are there any classes you would recommend I take for my senior year? I'm takeing intro to early childhood soon.
I’m going into a trade school this year, first year of high school, and I’ve gotten accepted because I wanted to become a teacher or work with younger kids. Not 100% sure if what I want to do but I wish you the best of luck
Honey I did the same thing and regret it terribly these kids are horrible don't work with 2 year olds they don't listen work with 3 and 4 year olds that's a great age.
Hi iam about to be a teacher aide at a daycare working with 3 and 4 year old this will my first time in this career what are your experiences how is it?
Hi! Anyone got advice for me? Im anxiety ridden about teaching and the virus? Any new techniques you may have put into place to help still be an efficient teacher?? Anything to make it safer and make me less stressed will help alot!
I have been pre k for forty years and Ii have never been treated so badly. Parents are rude and they don't care what you say because their kid is perfect!!!!!!!!!!! The other morning I greeted a child and said how pretty she looked because her hair was combed and I could see her pretty eyes!!!!!!! Earlier in the week a sister came in with uncombed hair and I told her needed to keep her hair out of her face and combed nice ly.Oh mommy s guilt !!!!! I am sorry to upset the mom but you make a baby you take care off your baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peace and Love to all my teacher friends and Amen Have happy weekend ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t have a degree in ECE I just have a high school diploma. I also have lots of experience with working with kids ages 6 weeks to 12. You just need experience.
I only had a high school diploma when I worked as an assistant teacher at this childcare. In order to be the lead teacher of the classroom you needed a specific certification I think called a CDA. (Child development associate) and you can make a little more money than the assistants. I would definitely just look into childcare centers in your area, I did have to do some online training courses that the facility paid for as well as a CPR class that they paid for as well! Good luck I know you can be great and whatever you put your mind to!
We would usually do breakfast, outside time, circle time (numbers, letters, shapes, and alphabet.) small groups with a learning activity or sensory activity such as sand, shaving cream, painting, etc. diapers in between each project so about every 2 hours 3 teachers would rotate changes depending on your schedule, then clean up for lunch, right after lunch nap time. During nap time we would have assigned cleaning and sanitation jobs as well as eating our lunch. When they woke up from nap we would go outside again come in read a few books, dance party and then free play until it was time to go home. Hope this gives you a better picture of how the day went 🙂 ps. I don’t work in childcare anymore.
Respected teacher to them My name is Esther I am twenty one I live in Sri Lanka I am educated in Child Care Course (NVQ 4 LEVEL) through Sri Lanka Vocational Training Authority in Sri Lanka. Are there any other ways to work in childcare in the UK? Thank you teacher if you let me know it will help.
Depends on where you are located and in America or at least Virginia you can have a highschool diploma and still be a preschool teacher or you can get a certificate
Yes! Depends on their age but we would sing songs, teach colors, numbers, abc's, and do art work/crafts on the kids age level each day, but they would also get to have independent play. We would also go outside and let them play twice a day.
Hi my name is symone and iam about to be a teacher aide at a daycare working with 3 and 4 years olds this is my first in a very different career i know i will love it i havea child of my own but how is working with kids what the routine lunch and all?
I had the 6:30am-2:30pm shift, so they would usually come in eat breakfast and immediately go outside to play, after outside they would come in and directly sit in a circle time where we would go over colors, numbers, and shapes etc. Then straight into diaper changes, independent play for a while, then into the activity as a group. after that it was lunch time. The kids get into the habit because they do the same thing everyday and they know what's about to happen next. The children had good and bad days you never knew how they were going to react. Does this answer your question? How are you liking the job?
@@Alexiaholcombe_ ohh okay, im from sydney australia. And i really want to work at a daycare cause i love kids. And when i grow up i want to be a teacher hehe
I’m an elementary schoolteacher that got a job working at childcare facility for this summer. I had 3 hours of shadowing today and childcare workers are absolute rockstars, y’all do so much! ❤

May I ask what are you doing now for work?@@Alexiaholcombe_ I have been working in home health care for years and decided that I wanted to switch careers. I really enjoyed this video and it made me feel better, because I was a little nervous.
I don't think so, at least not by yourself in the state of Georgia. I had a roommate and it was doable but I often didn't have any left over money. I think I made $9.50 at this job and the pay was every two weeks.
@TheDawracik1 way another young man in the field . children need that male contact and sometimes a young man can get a child to do things us girls can't You must have a big heart may you be a blessing to many good luck 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thanks
i love watching these videos. i just got the okay to become a childcare worker. i am starting with my traineeship for a cert 3 for childhood education. i am so excited. these videos really give me hope and confidence
I can’t wait to work at my local daycares. I love kids/babies soooo much. They’re so sweet, precious, and adorable.
Make sure you will love them when they are not at their best too.

Hi Ms. Lexi!
I’m Ms. Eryn and it’s so funny how we have the same job and same birthday 😭🎉
Mine is July 18th so close I guess.
That’s so cool!!
I will definitely cherish the time I had with those babies!
Are degrees required or only high school diploma? I babysit often, and I’m really interested in this

What does your normal routine look like? With the kids?
We would usually do breakfast, outside time, circle time (numbers, letters, shapes, and alphabet.) small groups with a learning activity or sensory activity such as sand, shaving cream, painting, etc. diapers in between each project so about every 2 hours 3 teachers would rotate changes depending on your schedule, then clean up for lunch, right after lunch nap time.

Hope this gives you a better picture of how the day went 🙂
ps. I don’t work in childcare anymore.

I am educated in Child Care Course (NVQ 4 LEVEL) through Sri Lanka Vocational Training Authority in Sri Lanka.

She looks to be in her early 20s?
Depends on where you are located and in America or at least Virginia you can have a highschool diploma and still be a preschool teacher or you can get a certificate
The pay depends but as long as you're a high school graduate (probably varies) you can apply.
@@noelle2k3 same in Georgia
Hi! I was 21 in this video! I think I was making $9.50 per hour when I worked here! My schedule was from 6:30am-2:30pm
Hello I just got into a childcare class at Santa Fe College today
What do you basically ? Like sing or teach them how to draw?
Yes! Depends on their age but we would sing songs, teach colors, numbers, abc's, and do art work/crafts on the kids age level each day, but they would also get to have independent play. We would also go outside and let them play twice a day.
Can you please tell me what are the qualifications need for this job?
At this particular job all you needed was a high school diploma and a clean background. They provided trainings as well as CPR classes.

What ages do you care for?
This age was 1 transitioning to 2. I loved this age! I don’t do this anymore though this video is from 2 years ago🙂
hello im new to the industry what are some tips to give to first time daycare workers both positive and negative
Can a 14yr old work at a daycare??
I'm not sure but at this particular daycare in the state of Georgia no you had to be 18 or older.
@@Alexiaholcombe_ ohh okay, im from sydney australia. And i really want to work at a daycare cause i love kids. And when i grow up i want to be a teacher hehe

You rock!
Do you still work at the daycare?
No. I am now a ophthalmic technician/scribe,
I want a job in nursery plz help me
Are you over the age of 18? what state do you live in? Do you have a high school diploma or GED?
Like what do y’all do lol
We would usually do breakfast, outside time, circle time (numbers, letters, shapes, and alphabet.) small groups with a learning activity or sensory activity such as sand, shaving cream, painting, etc. diapers in between each project so about every 2 hours 3 teachers would rotate changes depending on your schedule, then clean up for lunch, right after lunch nap time.

I don't think so, at least not by yourself in the state of Georgia. I had a roommate and it was doable but I often didn't have any left over money. I think I made $9.50 at this job and the pay was every two weeks.
