1. Patience
2. Caring
3. Fun- there's no shame in childcare you have to dance, sing play and be silly in front of staff, children and parents.
4. Loving
5. Fair- no favorites
I worked in childcare for the last 6 years, it is very poorly paid in Australia you defiantly don't do it for the money.
There is alot of paper work and crappy jobs(nappies and worse) to do it is not just looking after kids unfortunately.
but if your fun,active, caring and patient you will be great at it!
