Riverside Daycare. We work every Monday and Tuesday starting from 2:50 pm until
the the last child leaves (usually around 5-5:30). There is an average of 8 kids
everyday.
There are many assets to working at the daycare in our school. I get to know
the individuals and their personalities. I get to practice for any future jobs I may have
have that requires patience and kindness. It helps develop social skills and other
things I need like independence. I also get money which is a great thing right now
because, I going to New York in the summer and I know I’m going to be shopping a
lot.
There are many skills I need to have to work at the daycare. I need to learn to
know the kids, this wasn’t hard because I go to the same school as them therefore, I
already know them. I also have to be very patient because some of the kids don’t
listen to what you say and they don’t do the right things all the time. Having good
communication skills is also very important because they’re young and don’t always
understand what you’re saying. It’s also good to know how to do things like crafts
to do when I’m older, It has taught me that I don’t want to work with children. Some
of them are sweet and they listen well but when the others don’t I feel bad punishing
them. This leads me to the challenges of the job. I don’t like to tells the kids what to
do, but sometimes we have to for their safety and well being. Another challenge is
having longer days than before. This is a challenge to me because I already have a
pretty busy schedule, and in that I need to find time to spend with my family and
friends and time for activities like skiing or going to the gym.
I have learned many things from this experience. I learned that I need to be
more patient and understanding that not everyone is raised the same way, and
sometimes it’s hard but I can do it. It has also taught me that when I’m older, I will
need to be very organized with the time I have and not to waste anytime.
I did not make any BIG mistake but one mistake I made is that I don’t notice
when the kids aren't following the rules, for example, when they don’t wear their
shoes or when they’re too loud. I corrected this by making a routine in my mind to
Routine:
1. Snack time. (For them this is the longest part, 30-40 minutes, but they talk
too)
2. Homework(If they don’t have homework they read until the rest are done).
4. Gym time (This part is also very hard because they don’t like to lose)
5. Quiet time (Usually crafts or drawing)
Responsibilities:
2. We have to make sure they are doing their homework properly and they are
learning.
3. We have to make sure they are ready for when their parents arrive.
