Daily role and responsibilities

Childcare providers take care of children in their own homes or in shared childminding facilities. They can care for up to four children, whether the children are attending school or not, from birth to adulthood. However, the children are usually under six years old. The Departmental Council determines how many children you can look after when you apply for certification.

As an early childhood professional, childcare providers are responsible for:

  • Encouraging children's development and well-being
  • Organizing fun activities and outings
  • Supporting each child’s learning and growth
  • Ensuring the hygiene and safety of every child
  • Preparing meals and snacks

The role of a childcare provider is open to everyone and offers a job focused on human connections. This profession provides many opportunities and allows you to manage your own career advancement.

Testimonials

Angelina
Childcare provider

I started this job later in life. It was a last-chance career move after trying various jobs since I was 18. I wasn't finding any purpose or fulfillment in my work. It was my daughter's childcare provider who suggested this career to me. I was a bit reluctant, but everything happened quickly. I first got accredited in 2014, and 15 days later, I had my first contract. Today, I regret not making this career choice earlier. I wouldn't change jobs for anything in the world. In hindsight, I know I made the right choice.

Kaitty
Childcare provider

I love my job as a childcare provider. That one sentence says it all: on the one hand, there's love, and on the other hand, a strong professional attitude is essential. We have significant responsibility for the safety, hygiene, development, and well-being of the children. This can only be entrusted to professionals because it requires a lot of skills. I think childcare providers don't get enough recognition. In the village where I live, there are four of us, and we are all needed! This shows just how vital this job is to maintaining balance in society.
