No special background is required to work in childcare, but experience with children and a lot of enthusiasm are a plus.

Tasks include:

• General help with childcare: You help with the daily routine. Some of these activities may include educational games, dance, and songs. Communication with staff and other volunteers is important to carry out the new activities.
• Playing with the children: The children at the nursery are between 3 and 7 years old, so they demand a lot of energy all day long. You are therefore very active. Creativity is an important tool to keep the kids busy. Create new game and/or help organize and join existing games.
• Education: You are responsible for creating activities that allow children to learn creatively. This can be done through games, songs, dance and books.
• Help the staff: You help with breakfast and lunch. The youngest children also have a nap during lunch break, volunteers will help with this every afternoon.
• Maintenance: The nursery needs constant maintenance. You help with small maintenance jobs such as painting walls, repairing chairs, organizing the kitchen or greenery in the area.
