I was a Head Start teacher and had the 3-5s, thank God! I broke out in a cold sweat if I had to sub in the baby room. They're great (for others to watch!) I don't do babies 👶 Good luck in your new career!!

Everything good except changing nappies ☺️☺️☺️

do you have any interview advice ?

You can’t work with infants or toddlers until you are 21 so you got a bit of time to go. And 16 is a little young to be working in a daycare in my opinion.

@@dbreezy8993 no it's fine. I'm 16 soon to be 17 but I got the job in December I work ONLY with infants and toddlers and sub in preschool when I have to. Other girls that work with me are the same they are like 19 20 everyone there is pretty young we only have a few staff 30+

Changing diapers is cute to you?

Lady Diana it’s really not that bad

Kid who bite everyone is the worst

Its great ^-^ Takes a lot of patience though

@NA Phiri i would never do that who would slap the kids 😈

Not to mention the centers are usually concerned about money over children so expect kids to be let in with pink eye, strep, hand foot and mouth disease etc on the reg. So frustrating..

@@tiffanyjohnson1676 that sounds so bad....luckily where I work we are pretty steady about money and we care more about the children. In my opinion that place that you worked at or that you are talking about should go out if business...clearly they aren't ready to be handling children in a safe environment

Think outside the box pls! The childcare industry is huuuge. Nannies, au pairs whatever.

It destroys the body as much as it makes it. The muscles I've built lifting babies, i haven't built all my life working out...

this. I’ve been working at a center for three months and it has pros but MANY cons as well. yes, TONS of workplace gossip. It’s HORRIBLE. Never have I experienced so much workplace gossip than at a daycare center

The limit in Wisconsin is 4 babies/ 1year olds per teacher. It's a lot to handle.

Agree!

Witnessed this yesterday when touring. It was neglect. There's absolutely no way a baby will get anything more than very basic needs met if that

They pay much better 2here I live

That’s pretty standard around all the states

I’m in Minnesota 16.50 Still cruddy pay though

Ohio! Were 2 to 12

That is a lot. Texas has a ratio of 4 infants per teacher.

KVUE is out of Austin, Tx. So maybe in Texas they allow it. My state does not.

Rapid City SD 4/1 8/2

Depends on which state and the age of the children. In the video it looked to be as if some of them were over 12 months so the ratio would change but not go over the 13 month age gap

Tia Mason in Minnesota it’s 1:4 ratio . I give you so much props for 1:6 !

5 per adult is a lot of kids!

2 to 12 in Ohio!

2 to 12 in Georgia

Anna Rees if they can have 6 infants to 2 teachers the ratio is 3 babies to 1 teacher not 6:1

Lucky I am trying to get into this field

Then there isn't much that can be done aside from make sure their needs are met and try to console them as best ee can while also meeting the others needs.

Exactly. I used to work at a daycare center working with 12 infants by myself.

@@keciaaskew5166 no way

@@eenchantress5113 Yes, I had 12 babies by myself. When I went out lunch break for someone to cover my classroom, I felt dizzy and passed out.

Not really, they’re all in countainers...

​@@AliciaGonzalez-pk3mw That's not what it is about. It's the economy. Most families cannot support themselves on 1 wage. The husband would have to be upper middle class in their area to even be able to think about being able to support a family with 1 wage.

Yes. America's work ethic makes it hard to be stay at home mom. So now both parents have to work. Childcare is also insanely expensive.

Poptarts are acceptable foods for 1 year olds according to US regulation. For all daycares. I walked in to tour my daycare and there were seven 1 year olds eating poptarts with icing all over their faces. I almost had a heart attack.

​@@AliciaGonzalez-pk3mw Incorrect. Infants need both in a nuclear family.

@AliciaGonzalez-pk3mw Scientifically, you are only grasping a portion of the picture. There is a deeper dynamic involved. Fathers and infants can be equally as attached as mothers and infants. When both parents are involved with the child, infants are attached to both parents from the beginning of life. Father involvement is related to positive child health outcomes in infants, such as improved weight gain in preterm infants and improved breastfeeding rates.Fathers occupy a critical role in child development. Father absence hinders development from early infancy through childhood and into adulthood. The psychological harm of father absence experienced during childhood persists throughout the life course. On the side of the direct need between father and infant, the baby is affected by proxy when a mother and father have a healthy relationship. The infant needs the mother to have a supportive father in order for the mother to provide adequate emotional and physical care. Have mothers done it without fathers? Yes, for many reasons. But the strongest family dynamic happens when both are healthily present.

Thats dumb.aybe blame the government for not enforcing better maternity protections like longer leave. People have to work

And who provided for you?

lol i have so many words for you that i dont even know where to start

@@YellowDiamonds My dad! He retired because of me! This is Homecare! Home + Daycare = Homecare!

That’s great, but not all parents have that option remember that. I’m glad I did because I don’t trust daycares, but I won’t down parents that can’t.

Agreed. My local daycare is just like this and I was shocked. Apparently it's normal and some moms are okay with it but me. Nope.

@AliciaGonzalez-pk3mw I kept my boy home until he was 1. I found that daycare didn't start to get tolerable until they get into the 2s rooms and onward. It's rare to find happy staff with low turnover below the 2s rooms. And the kids are rarely happy. We took him out and put him into a smaller school not long after until he turned 2 and then he switched to a newer place with amazing education for his age group. His teacher is a keeper and I'll be sad when he changes rooms 😞

@AliciaGonzalez-pk3mw How were you raised? Are you stay at home? How old are you?

@AliciaGonzalez-pk3mw It can be hard because they have to quit and hope they can find another job once ready to go back.

@AliciaGonzalez-pk3mw Tell that to all the people who have degrees in high paying jobs and a mountain of student loan debt but no one will hire them. You seem really young, neive, or both.

Where else do you want them to get water?

​@@blainefiasco8225I've never given my boy tap water. It's disgusting. They could at least get faucet filters

khadar hasuun DONT be racist

Haamid hassan what?

Haamid hassan yeah ok...
