Child Attendant

I employ a school-readiness program for children not yet of school going age. Teaching them language and numbers using appropriate preschool methods is my feat.

Gather some background information regarding the hiring firm first and then answer the question by stating some features of the firm that help them standout form other firms. For example: ‘I have always heard well about the childcare services provided by this firm. Since I am a passionate and dedicated child care giver, I couldn’t think of a better place to join’.

After much difficulty, I managed to find a counselor who could reach out to the child. The process was not smooth, but after 2 years of constant counseling, his transformation was amazing. And the family that he is now placed with is extremely happy with him!

There really is no mantra. Each child that I look after and teach is an individual with his or her own personality and specific needs. While I create a wide curriculum, each module of the curriculum has leeway for individual incorporation. And that is how I handle adapted child care.

I have provided care to newborn babies and children aged up to 10 years. I can handle children’s personal and nutritional needs perfectly and have helped older children with homework as well. Since I have been a child caregiver for 12 years, I have seen, experienced and managed even the toughest situations with children quite easily.

I have worked with children with special needs in the past. Understanding their specific requirements – both physical and emotional – and devising plans to meet them is something that I am quite good with. Additionally, I am in the process of gaining certification in special education, which I am sure will make me better equipped to handle special education activities.

Ensuring a healthy, safe and nurturing environment will be my prime responsibility. In addition to this, I expect to foster children’s social, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual growth by providing them with a comfortable and caring environment. Assisting students in meeting their learning and social interaction objectives is also something that I expect to do.

I have lived in foster homes since I was 5 years old, after the untimely demise of both my parents. Having been through the system myself, I recognized and appreciated the limitations of the foster care system, and it was inherently important for me to contribute something to make it a better one for children who have to go through it now. Initially, this was my motivation to take up a career as a foster care worker.

Never. It doesn’t make sense. Things have changed drastically. A reasonable amount of discipline is very important but pulling strings too hard can actually have an adverse effect on children of today. I always keep a balance of discipline, understanding and leeway.

This is a very open question and will show the employer whether the candidate understands the expectations of the job – you need to look up a job description and see what the role involves. It's a good test of whether they've done any research, especially if candidates are coming from a different country where the roles may differ.

It is quite difficult to detach yourself from the children that you work with. I have had my share of heartbreaks. What helps me is self-teaching that if I get emotionally attached, I will not be able to work properly. It works!

No. Children are the major territory when you work as a bus attendant. If you don’t like them, you won’t be able to do your work properly.

Your answer needs to show an employer you have knowledge, experience and understanding of relevant legislation within areas like mental health or child protection. These are always changing so it's essential you keep up-to-date. You may then delve deeper into your areas of expertise in your answer. Refer to specific regulations or guidance, acknowledge why the legislation is important and how you would use it in the role.

‘Yes.’(explain the experience)or, ‘No, but I’m willing to take up a position of child care giving that requires caring for special needs children’.

I have worked as a child caregiver for ten years. While most of my wards have been babies, I have provided care to children aged 6, 8, 9 and 10 as well. With older children, it is not about assisting them in eating and changing; it is more about working with their activities to ensure that they become good human beings.

I come from a conservative family which did not tolerate misbehavior of any kind. Religion played an important role in my upbringing as did discipline in everything, including games. It was a tough childhood but it made me who I am today so I am grateful for that.

I don't know to much, but I know your a Christian church that if I remember correctly is a Puritian church.
