Good afternoon. I am taking care of a child and have been working in this family for 3 month already. Yesterday I came there and noticed that they've put a camera in the child's room. They didn't tell me anything, that they were unhappy with me or they wanted to see what I do with the child... What can it mean? and what should I do?

Is pedagogical training a must for a babysitter? The job is about taking care of a 2 year old child. Thanks to everybody Kind regards,

Most Childcare jobs require appropriate qualifications to meet requirements of this role. There are different academic qualifications for this area, including diplomas even for distance learning as an option. Most job placements offer training schemes that allow further qualifications such as BTEC or NVQ Level 3.

It is also recommended to have a CACHE NVQ in childcare because that is a standard qualification for this area. This qualification is awarded by demonstrating suitable skills and knowledge in the place of work.
