Trial at Child Care Centre.. Help

Question

Ok so im going for a trial at a child care centre tomorrow morning and I am freakin out. I've never worked with children before. What type of things do you think I will be doing? Are there any certain tips or advice you can give me? Thanks =]

Answer 1

be prepared.  wear comfortable clothes and sneakers.  it depends on the age of the kids as to what you'll be doing.  if they're younger you'll be changing diapers, feeding, cleaning up.  if they're 3-4 you'll be keeping them entertained with games songs, lesson plans, art.  

regardless of age you are responsible for keeping them safe and happy.  just know going into it that the kids are going to try to run all over you.  be firm but loving.  no ALWAYS means no so use it sparingly.  good luck.
