Im 15 years old, and when I'm old enough I'm going to colleg to major in early childhood education/development. For starters, I'm trying to land a summer job at a day care or nursery. Can someone tell me the required age in GA for these kind of jobs? And could you also give me tips on what to say when I call?

  1. I think 18. I live in Georgia and I am pretty sure thats the age. But just call and ask. If so, get some babysitting jobs and take some online early education courses that will add references and experience to your resume for when you turn 18. Also, help out at church with the younger kids, that looks great on a resume.(volunteer work)


  2. 15 i think

  3. I think it will really depend on the place you're trying to work at.  Perhaps it will be easier since between June 1 and Labor Day, a minor can work up to 8 hours a day (no more than 40 hours a week).  It will just depend on the impression they have of you and your credentials.

  4. you need to be 21 yrs old. to volunteer you to be 16yrs old.

    when you call them tell them that you want to work in this kind of job. also ask if they know any other places that will help with paying for college to help you major in child care facility/day care. remember that when you are talking let them know that you are very interested in a new career to better your life as well as others. i know your 15 yrs old get a resume so you can show that your ready to commit to your future.

  5. 16

  6. 16-27 no doubt try to sound confident, and belive in yourself I'm the same way to I love kids but I'm not old enough you know but I'm going to work at theYMCA nursery, I know the kids so it's not that hard you know? Be yourself, and maybe even though your age is low for them they might except you regardless! I'm 15 too turning 16 so I'm happy they are gonna give me a job, so don't worry you will be ok.
