Child Care Staff（到期)

Duties:
Childcare workers typically do the following:

Supervise and monitor the safety of children in their care.
Organize mealtimes and snacks for children.
Help children keep good hygiene.
Change the diapers of infants and toddlers.
Organize activities or implement a curriculum that allow children to learn about the world and explore interests.
Watch for signs of emotional or developmental problems in children.
Keep records of children’s progress, routines, and interest.

Young children learn from playing, solving problems, questioning, and experimenting. Childcare workers use play and other instructional techniques to help children’s development. For example, they use storytelling and rhyming games to teach language and vocabulary. They may help improve children’s social skills by having them work together to build something in a sandbox or teach math by having children count when building with blocks. They may involve the children in creative activities, such as art, dance, and music.
