Family Day Care Educator

A Family Day Care Educator runs a childcare service for children from their own home. You might deliver educational programs and organise activities suitable for children’s development. Family Day Care Educators usually work with very young children or babies. You might supervise children and assist with daily routine activities such as eating and toileting.

Family Day Care Educators should be patient and enjoy working with young children. You’ll need to be energetic and be comfortable supervising multiple children at one time. Family Day Care Educators must be able to follow correct procedures and have strong interpersonal skills.
