Child may be timid with children their age
You may not know what activities are age appropriate

Lisa asks…
what kind of interview question would they ask? (baby day care center)?
I am just curious before I start applying.. Also what position is that>? nanny? baby sitter?
The Expert answers:
I just got a job at a daycare. You should be working at a daycare with babies, not children, maybe toddlers and infants. They asked me for criminal history, my education (I’m still in highschool), a certain vaccine I need to have. It’s pretty basic. They also gave me a simple test on reading, spelling, and math. I’m sure it also depends on different states, but the laws can’t be sooo different.
