My experience: Placement at a local Nursery in my home town: I did this placement as part of my college course (Health and Social Care), I did this for around 6-8 weeks. I worked 4-5 days a week 5-6 hours a day. I looked after children from the age of 18months to 4/5 years old. My main responsibilities here were to play and teach the children, feed them, teach them right and wrong and praise them for good behaviour. Babysitting for Family/friends: I did this over a few years, during school holiday, weekends and some weekdays. I would babysit for 4-5 hours a day. I looked after children from as young as 2 years old to children up to 12 years old. My main responsibilities here were, to play/entertain the child, cook for them and feed them, change them, put them down for a nap. Looking after juniors at Sea Cadets (kids club: I was a senior cadet for 3.5 years. Training nights were on Tuesday and Friday for 3 hours a night. I looked after the younger cadets who ranged from 10 years old to 13 years old. My main responsibilities were, teach them how to keep their uniform in good order, teaching them skills, and being there for any of there problems or needs.
