Make sure you will love them when they are not at their best too.

@@DFthepolarbear I’m aware, thanks : )

@@branzfactor81 for a fact…

Aww yes babies/kids are amazing. I love working in childcare

@@mariyah1203 how’s it like?

Omg how did you end up liking it?

Hi! Did you get the job?

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!

You rock!

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

You’re gonna do great!

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?

@@hey-its-me2848I have a 6 year old, 3 year old, and 2 year old. And my youngest one be testing me CONSTANTLY 😂😂😂

Mine is July 18th so close I guess.

That’s so cool!! I will definitely cherish the time I had with those babies!

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!

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_ Iam liking it so far

wdym??

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.

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.

May I ask you why you left? ​@@Alexiaholcombe_

​@@Alexiaholcombe_why don't you work in childcare anymore

At this particular job all you needed was a high school diploma and a clean background. They provided trainings as well as CPR classes.

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

No. I am now a ophthalmic technician/scribe,

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🙂

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

Not anymore!

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.

Are you over the age of 18? what state do you live in? Do you have a high school diploma or GED?
