      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!

    • @Alexiaholcombe_
      @Alexiaholcombe_  Pƙed 10 měsĂ­ci +1

      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!

      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.

    • @Alexiaholcombe_
      @Alexiaholcombe_  Pƙed 10 měsĂ­ci +2

      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 🙂

    • @Alexiaholcombe_
      @Alexiaholcombe_  Pƙed 2 měsĂ­ci +1

      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?
