    I start Tuesday for my childcare teacher role and I am beyond grateful and excited!
    I have been watching videos to help me better understand on what to expect and I love that you care so much for the babies ❤️ makes me feel so warm to know that they have someone great to look up too. ❤️

      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!

The other morning I greeted a child and said how pretty she looked because her hair was combed and I could see her pretty eyes!!!!!!! Earlier in the week a sister came in with uncombed hair and I told her needed to keep her hair out of her face and combed nice ly.Oh mommy s guilt !!!!! I am sorry to upset the mom but you make a baby you take care off your baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peace and Love to all my teacher friends and Amen Have happy weekend ❤❤❤❤❤❤

    • @Alexiaholcombe_

      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_  Рік тому +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!

    • @Alexiaholcombe_

      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?
