What other carer choices do i have?

Question

I live in southend and am currently a nursery nurse. I have been for the last years. although now i feel like i could be doing so much more for children that just looking after them at a nursery. i have looked into fostering but you cant do that untill your 21 and im only 18! what other choices are there avaliable to me other than bein a nursery nurse????

Answer 1

Perhaps a preschool teacher? or teacher assistant?

Answer 2

how about becoming a childminder. its on your terms then you can teach them about things your way, take them on fun trips and get so much more involved in their lives!!!!

Answer 3

Tasha, There are so many career choices out there.  See if you can google careers online and come up w/ something exciting.  Since 16, I have sold athletic shoes, worked for the Clerk of the Circuit Court (file room), worked for a weight loss center, worked in a law firm, sold bridal dresses, and nursing (small private clinic and Veteran's Hospital).  Look into programs at your local community college or university.  Have them mail you their catalog, it will have numerous choices for you to look into.  

If you go to nursing school, you could work in labor and delivery, the NICU, pediatrics, a doctor's office, home health care, and more.  

You could look into an LPN program, a RN transitional program, an Anesthesia (CRNA) program, and more.  

Good luck.

Answer 4

Before doing anything perhaps you should learn how to spell ?

Answer 5

Hi--many nannies are hired who can't drive--so don't let that stop you.

Another option is to look into child education or social work

Answer 6

How about being a nanny that seems the most popular choice with the nursery nurses I work with
