Child caregivers are required by law to maintain a safe, sanitary, and clean environment for the children under their care. When needed, a caregiver may change the diaper of an infant or toddler.

They normally prepare and organize mealtimes and snacks for kids.
Great child caregivers prepare nutritional food selections for children and encourage them to try new things.
Supervise Play and Rest:
Since play is so important for the healthy psychological development of children, child caregivers combine playtime with other instructional strategies to aid this development.
Caregivers create routines to make sure that children have a balanced amount of physical activity, rest, and playtime.
While children are playing with each other, caregivers monitor for any safety concerns.
Communicate with Staff and Parents:
Child caregivers are responsible for carefully watching for any signs of emotional or developmental issues with children. When they notice something amiss, they must bring it to the attention of a child’s parents or the appropriate team leader.
A primary goal of a child caregiver is to create a positive relationship with parents, children, and other staff. They engage in active communication to help keep children safe and make them feel cared for.
