Childcare workers keep kids active, play games, and develop soft skills. Childcare workers also create enrichment activities for children of all ages, helping them learn basic concepts and get ready for kindergarten.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Educational requirements often vary by state but a high school diploma is generally all the education that is needed to start as a childcare worker. However majority of employers are looking for candidates with at least an associate degree in childhood education. Skilled workers are also in demand.
Some states and some employers require certification, such as a Child Development Associate (CDA) certification or the Child Care Professional (CCP) certification. Additionally, CPR certification, and first aid training, and a valid driver's license will help you outperform the competition.
Some states also require facilities and home childcare workers to be licensed.
SKILL REQUIREMENTS
- Communication and PR Skills: Childcare workers spend most of their day with children, and will need to tell stories, ask and answer questions, as well as report back to parents and understand any instructions given to you.
- Instructional Skills: Childcare workers need to be able to explain instructions clearly and in a way kids can understand.
- Patience: Children can be frustrating, especially around nap time. Being patient will help you when tense situations arise.
- Stamina: Kids are bundles of energy, and nannies need the energy to match. Carrying children, diaper bags, etc. require strength.
