Childminder
More and more families decide to hire childminders. This is due to the fast pace of living, a large number of professional duties and a small amount of leisure time. That’s why the individuals who have the required qualifications and the willingness to work with children are especially valuable on the labor market.
The activities undertaken by childminder are focused on children’s care, upbringing and education. Among others, these include: developing children’s right attitude and socially beneficial behaviors, as well as their psychomotor development.
Promoting health and implementing preventive measures are also essential elements of childcare.
The professional activities of a child minder incorporate taking care of both healthy and sick or disabled children. The role of a babysitter is also to pay attention on any changes in the child’s behavior or help them in medical hazard situations.
The qualities desired in a childcare worker are primarily responsibility, good interpersonal skills, emotional balance, patience, attention divisibility and physical fitness. It’s also advisable to be artistically inclined, have the ability to present ideas in a clear and coherent way, and a trust inspiring appearance.
A person qualified to work as a childminder may find employment in many places, such as: nurseries and kindergartens, care facilities for both able‑bodied and disabled children, hospitals, sanitariums, hospices, educational care facilities, as well as in private homes (as a nanny), or baby care agencies throughout Europe (babysitter, au pair). The labor market is open, and the profession itself is constantly developing, guaranteeing its employees better and better financial conditions.
