Daycare Assistants must be friendly and able to manage multiple children at once. Knowledge of child development in relation to the ages being cared for as well as awareness of medical needs such as Allergies is also important. Strong people skills are essential to this job as it revolves around children and adults. This job can be very physically demanding as it is a constantly changing environment when dealing with smaller children so an able body is required in many cases.
A daycare assistant will often report to the daycare leader and fulfill tasks as requested in order to help the facility run smoothly. This may include leading group activities, managing conflicts or interacting with parents. Other tasks may include paperwork or light clerical work so some computer knowledge is often helpful.
While the salary of a daycare assistant varies from state to state, the average salary is $20,000, with certified assistants earning slightly more at $24,000 per year. Daycare assistants often will work from a daycare facility but may also find work at other locations.
Daycare assistants are most often required to have a CDA, which is a Child Development Associate certification. This certification established that a set criteria has been met by the daycare assistant and confirms that they are capable of meeting the demands of the job. This certification requires only a high school diploma to take but in addition asks for at least 480 hours of working with children over the past five years and at least 120 hours of formal child care experience within the same time frame. This experience can be obtained in a number of ways including baby-sitting and daycare positions that do not require a CDA. Training in CPR is not often required but can be a strong point in a resume as can basic first aid or other medical training.
When beginning a career as a daycare assistant, experience can be gained by checking for jobs that do not require a CDA certification. Volunteer work through outreach programs or other facilities may also lead to a position as a daycare assistant. Many times church or clinic groups will also have positions available that may not require the extensive training.
