Sooner or later the baby grows up, and it's time to go to work, and send the child to kindergarten. Naturally, you want everything to be in the best possible way, to know who to contact and in what situation. To do this, it is necessary to understand the job responsibilities of employees of a preschool institution. What are the duties of a nanny, caregiver and other staff?

Kindergarten staff

If everything is more or less clear with the head and teacher, then such an employee as a nanny raises many questions. First of all, there is no concept of "nanny" in the classifier of professions. There is a position of an assistant teacher, and a nanny is a colloquial name for a specialist. Although such a person cannot be called a specialist. There are no educational requirements for the position. Absolutely. The duties of a nanny do not imply the presence of higher and even specialized secondary education. Therefore, caring mothers who do not have the opportunity to stay at home often get such work. Having settled down as an assistant teacher, they watch their baby and still earn, albeit a little money. The work is not easy, but a woman is always surrounded"flowers of life".

Nanny duties

So. Despite the absence of requirements for the education of a nanny, this person is in direct contact with the children all day long. At the same time, there can be two educators in the group, and junior staff - always in a single person. The main duty of a nanny is to take care of children.

The arrival of the child in the garden and hygiene

As soon as the child crossed the threshold of the children's institution, the nanny should help him change clothes, change shoes. She should help the children change clothes and before going outside for a walk, upon returning from it.

As a rule, in the younger groups, the nanny helps the children go to the toilet, wash their hands, if they still do not cope well on their own. She also instills in the kids the basics of personal hygiene, helps make the bed after a quiet hour and take care of herself.

Eating

The next function is the organization of the process of eating. The nanny is obliged to prepare the tables for dinner. It's no secret that in most preschools, kids play and eat at the same table.

If the institution does not have an automatic lift or other devices, it is the responsibility of the nanny in kindergarten to organize the delivery of food from the kitchen directly to the group. And it can be the second or third floor. She is also obliged to set the table and, at the end of the meal, clean, wash the dishes and tables.

Walking or cleaning

As a rule, the nanny is not present for a walk, this is the function of the educator. While the kids are outsidethe nanny will have to clean the room. This can be wet cleaning or the usual collection of toys and putting them in their places. At this time, the room is usually ventilated, all the more so if the group or garden is in quarantine.

Despite the fact that the duties of a nanny do not include walking with children on the street, if necessary, she replaces the teacher. We are all human, and a person can get sick. Although the substitution can take place only in the short-term absence of the educator. In other cases, this is not allowed. It is because of the lack of specialized education in the nanny.

General Questions

Nanny's duties in kindergarten are not limited to caring for babies. Junior staff monitors the safety of property. If necessary, he submits applications to the caretaker or the head of the garden for the purchase of new equipment or the repair of old. For example, if a chair or bed breaks, if a faucet starts to leak - that is, it is in charge of general business issues.

Subordination

In all matters, the nanny is completely subordinate to the teacher. At the same time, as usual, it is the junior staff who teaches the children the basic rules of conduct at the dinner table.

Responsibility

The nanny, like the teacher himself, is responsible for the children. Although it is the teacher who is the main one in the group. The junior staff of the preschool institution must have all the knowledge in the field of child safety and be responsible at the level of the educator ifsomething will happen.

Personal qualities required for a nanny

Despite the fact that the director or head of the children's institution is hiring, there are still a number of personality characteristics that any manager will pay attention to when considering applicants for the position of nanny.

What qualities are paid attention to:

• High level of tolerance. Most children are capricious, besides, at this age the psyche is not formed, so it is quite difficult with babies.
• Responsibility. The nanny must have time to do everything, prepare tables for dinner, beds for sleeping, cleanliness, ventilate the room, help the kids undress, and so on.
• Vigilance and mindfulness. These are the qualities that will save the life and he alth of restless children.
• Affectionate and kind, balanced and calm - just such a nanny should meet children in kindergarten.

Ideally, every kindergarten director wants to see junior staff with a pedagogical or psychological education. Despite the fact that the educational process is not included in the duties of a nanny. Requirements for personal qualities may vary depending on the age group of children. It is clear that in the younger group it is much harder than in working with already 5-year-old children. The most important thing that a woman who wants to get a job as a nanny in a kindergarten should have is love for children.

Private kindergartens

Not so long ago, kindergartens with privateform of ownership. Naturally, in such institutions there will be fewer children in the group, more educators, but the cost of such care, development and education is quite high. All functions of employees are clearly regulated. The duties of a nanny in a garden with a private form of ownership, as a rule, are much simpler than in a municipal institution. Most of the work still falls on the shoulders of professional teachers, they are much more in contact with children.

In such preschool institutions, exclusive methods of development and education can be used. One of the most popular today is the method of Maria Montessori. Such training involves a small group of children, no more than 10, and educators - 3 people. At the same time, they perform the duties of a nanny. As a rule, junior staff are hired only for the nursery. This age of children does not yet allow them to take care of themselves.

Home gardens

Another form of preschool institutions is the so-called home kindergartens. The most dangerous thing in them is the lack of permits for entrepreneurial activities. The organizers do not receive permission from the SES, firefighters, and this is a potential risk to the he alth and life of the baby. Naturally, if a mother gives her child to a girlfriend for a couple of hours, this is one thing, but giving her child 5 days a week for 8 or more hours is completely different. In such kindergartens, there is usually no talk of any nannies.

Home staff

Not everyone is financially disadvantaged,therefore, they can afford a nanny who will look after the baby at home. Most mothers still want to see a person with a specialized education at home. The duties of a nanny in a family are much broader than in a municipal institution. There can be two options:

Nanny without education	Educated nanny
duties:	duties:
washing	educational games
cleaning	walking
walking	choosing circles, driving a child to them
cooking	driving in sports sections
timely sleep	learning foreign languages
grocery shopping	going to the clinic
driving for mugs	other requirements

It is clear that the duties of a nanny for a child are determined by parents, based on their worldview and financial capabilities. The main thing is not to make a mistake with the choice of a person, because children completely copy the behavior of all those people who surround them.
