A career in childcare though challenging and difficult at times is extremely rewarding for those who enjoy helping children to learn and development during their early years. Young people looking to start a career in this sector need to be fully aware of the skills and personal qualities someone working with young children needs to possess; namely, someone patient, understanding and enthusiastic. This book presents childcare in an honest and realistic way to help young people decide if it the right career for them. Case studies of people already working in the sector give students a brilliant insight into daily life working with children and what they can expect to do and earn when they enter the career. The book also contains quizzes to test how much readers already know about the sector and to encourage them to find out more. A useful list of organisations is included at the end of the book to make the overall process of deciding on a career in childcare simpler and well-informed. Real Life Guides are practical guides for practical people. Each guide looks in detail at what it takes to train for, get into and be successful at a wide range of hands-on careers. Real Life Guides aim to inform and inspire young people and adults alike by providing comprehensive yet hard-hitting information about what it takes to succeed in these fields.
