Childcare

Q. Describe three recent jobs you've completed.

A. The jobs of a childcare provider are endless! Fun activities and exploration are the most important! :)

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Make sure they are trained, licensed, and certified. Ask how many years of experience they have and why they choose this career! Child development majors and teachers are good quality providers. But, what really makes the difference is if your child enjoys attending that daycare!

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Make sure children are attended at ALL times! Two providers or caregivers are better than one! Make sure they do not watch TV all day!

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. What are your qualifications? How many years experience you have? What do children do in your daycare? What services do you offer?

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. We provide smaller ratios than centers. Our ratio is 1:7 at full capacity. But, most days it is 1:4.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. I love being present when children develop and accomplish new skills and milestones in their life!

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Q: What do the children do all day?
A: They construct their own learning through play and exploration of both the materials and the environment. They practice social-emotional skills. They are creative and explorers of the world!

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?
