3 Tips for Writing Child Care Resumes
1. Choose the right format for your child care resume
As a child care professional you probably have read the story of Goldilocks and the three bears. Just like everything has to be ‘just right’ for Goldilocks, the same goes for your resume.
Before you write a resume, it’s necessary that you set it up for success by choosing the resume format that’s just right for your experience.
There are three main resume format types: chronological, functional and hybrid.
If you’re a child care applicant with a lot, five years’ experience or longer, you should use a chronological format.
If this is your first child care job or you have less than two years’ experience, use a functional format.
And, if you’re somewhere in the middle with more than two and less than five years’ working as a nurse, you should use a hybrid format.
The main difference between the three formats is where the main focus is put on your resume.
Chronological formats work well for people with a lot of experience because they put the emphasis on all the work experience you have. So, if you’re lacking experience, you should choose another format.
Meanwhile, functional formats put the emphasis on your skills instead of your work experience as a smart way to cover your inexperience.
As it indicates, a hybrid format is a halfway point between a functional and a chronological resume — for our purposes you can call it the “Goldilocks format” because it gives that just right balance to your work history and skills.
2. Promote your child care skills
Every role in child care is going to be a bit different depending on the child or children that you’re working with and their parent’s expectations.
However, there are certain skills that are welcome for any child care worker. We’ve included a list that highlights some of the most useful skills to mention in a child care resume.
Include some of these sought-after skills in your resume as they apply to you.
Desired skills for child care workers include:
Juice up your resume with some of these important keywords where they apply to your experience and describe who you are as a child care worker.
Here’s a failsafe tip: Study the exact language used in the ad or job posting and try to feature some of the same keywords and phrases that the employer uses if they’re relevant to job duties you perform.
3. Use a template to make sure your resume looks clean
Studies have shown that recruiters only look at a resume for an average of six seconds before moving onto the next one. If a resume is hard to read, it’s probably getting skipped.
Using a template is an easy way to avoid this.
A resume template is a preformatted document that was created by a professional designer. They took care of the design elements to make sure everything is well-presented and easy-to-read.
For you that means creating a resume is a breeze. All you have to do is pick a template that you like and fill in your information. You’re saved all the time of tinkering with columns, borders, shading and fonts.
JobHero has loads of resume templates that you can use to create your resume.
Even easier, JobHero has a resume builder that lets you and then automates the process of filling in your information complete with auto-suggestions.
It creates these auto-suggestions based on extensive research that our resume professionals have tailored to every job title in the child care industry.
JobHero’s is like having an expert look over your shoulder to guide you step-by-step as you write your resume. You won’t find a faster or easier way to produce an outstanding looking resume.
Child Care Resume FAQ
What should I put on my resume for child care?
For most jobs in child care, the focus of your resume should be on your work experience and skills. These sections should get the most space.
An education section should also be included. Higher education isn’t required for most child care care roles, but if you have a certification in first-aid or CPR mention it because that kind of training is very important when it comes to child safety.
You’ll also need to include the other resume basics like your contact information and a professional summary or objective.
How do I list education on a child care resume?
Most roles in child care will not require advanced degrees. However, your education is always an asset.
In the realm of child care, more so than a formal education, it’s really desirable if you have completed recent training in CPR or first aid. It gives parents peace of mind to entrust their children with someone who can take action in an emergency situation.
Note your certification certifying center or agency and date obtained. It should look something like this:
CPR Certification, Pasadena CPR, July 2020
To list your formal education, the following similar information is expected: The name of the school that you attended, its city and state, the years you attended, and, if applicable, the degree(s) you obtained. Typically, if you’ve graduated from college, you don’t need to list your high school education.
Here’s an example:
Drexel College Baltimore, MD
Graduated 2017, BA English
What kind of work experience should I put on a child care resume?
If you can, you should try to keep all the work experience you include in a resume focused on child care jobs you’ve held.
Try to consider the aspects from your previous work experience that would be the most relevant to this new experience.
For instance, if you worked as a babysitter and watched two children who were four and nine years old, mention those details. If it’s close to the ages of the children that you’re applying to sit it will instill confidence that you’re ready for the task.
You could even include unpaid child care experience if you used to watch siblings or family members for free. Just list all the responsibilities and actions you had to do to care for them.
If you don’t have previous experience in child care, you can also mention work experience that you have from other jobs in different industries, such as working in a retail store or at a golf course.
However, if you’re going to include work you did in other industries, try to feature the responsibilities that you were entrusted with. After all, parents want to know that the people they are leaving their children with are trustworthy people.
So try to include experience that shows that you can be relied upon.
How do I write a professional summary or objective statement for a child care resume?
Professional summaries and objective statements both live at the top of your resume and serve as the primary argument you give as to why you’re a good candidate.
The main difference between the two is that professional summaries are better for people with work experience in the child care industry, whereas objective summaries are better for people new to the industry.
In either case, you don’t need to say too much. Just make a brief two to three sentence argument for why an employer should see find promise in hiring you.
A professional summary does so by looking at your main achievements from past roles. A good example of a professional summary might look something like this:
“Dedicated child care worker with 3+ years of experience has made a friendly impact at daycare centers I’ve worked at. My fun disposition has made me a hit with kids while my professional demeanor and first-aid certification bring parents reassurance.”
Meanwhile, a solid objective statement focuses on what you hope to achieve for the employer if given a chance to work for them. A solid objective statement might look something like this:
“Self-motivated caretaker seeks job at a preschool in order to be a part of care-focused and positive child development. My energetic nature and skills in activity planning, giving direction and social engagement will bring greater nurturing to your school. ”
If you’d like further information about the nuance of professional summaries and objective statements, JobHero has an in-depth guide that will give you all the tools you need to make sure that your resume begins well.
Should I include a cover letter with my child care resume?
Even if it’s not requested for the job, it’s always a good idea to include a cover letter when you submit your resume as it shows your professionalism and attention to detail.
Not to mention, a cover letter gives you more space to discuss your child care skills and maybe tell a story about a successful child care position you had.
If you need to see some good examples, JobHero has a library of child care cover letters that you can use to draw inspiration and create your own solid letter.
Not to mention, we also have a step-by-step guide on how to write a cover letter that will give you all the tools you need to make sure your letter is on-point.

Career from educator to the head of a preschool organization – we tell you how to do it in 2021
Educator is a unique profession that provides its owner with the opportunity to plunge into the interesting and wonderful world of childhood again! Today we will tell you not only how to become an educator, but also how to climb the career ladder to the head of a kindergarten, and also talk about the requirements for education and for each of the positions along the way.
Kindergarten work – what does it consist of?
Educators are called teachers working in kindergartens, sports and summer camps, as well as in the field of additional education with children of preschool age. The authorities of our country are taking comprehensive measures in order to ensure the possibility of preschool education for all children under the age of 7 in 2021, so the demand for the profession of educator continues to gain momentum.
Numerous tasks of preschool education can be defined as the upbringing and development of the younger generation.
The goals of educational work in a preschool educational institution are:
-
create comfortable conditions for the effective development of each baby;
-
to study the psychological and physiological characteristics of each child, depending on age characteristics, the level of health and well-being of living conditions;
-
in a kindergarten to develop the talents, interests and inclinations of children;
-
provide a favorable psychological atmosphere for the entire group of kids and for each individually;
-
organize a full-fledged developmental activity, taking into account the age and characteristics of children;
-
analyze the results achieved in the development of each child.
Who can become an educator?
It is logical that not only their well-being, but also the prospects of our country directly depend on the level of education, upbringing and readiness of our children for adulthood. Therefore, work in a kindergarten is considered responsible and important and implies a high level of education among educators, the presence of certain qualities and unconditional love for children.
An adult who does not have a valid criminal record, a mentally healthy person, a holder of a diploma of higher or secondary pedagogical education and a document confirming the mastered program of additional professional education in the relevant field, can educate preschoolers in the conditions of a preschool educational institution. The teacher is obliged to improve his qualification level every five years and know:
-
psychology of childhood;
-
developmental psychology;
-
methods of raising children up to 7 years.
Additional knowledge (for example, the Montessori system, techniques for working with children with disabilities, speech therapy techniques) will help the educator to competently fulfill their duties and move effectively along their career path.
Of course, the personal qualities of a specialist – discipline, responsibility, patience, creativity, sociability, love for children – will also be important criteria for success in educating the younger generation.
Who cannot work as an educator
It must be remembered that without experience and experience it is possible to become a kindergarten teacher, but one cannot do without special education. A diploma from a pedagogical or psychological university is not enough; additional education is required to work with preschool children.
You will not be hired by a kindergarten if you:
-
are deprived of these rights by a court decision;
-
have a criminal record;
-
recognized as disabled;
-
suffer from serious diseases that limit physical abilities;
-
have been diagnosed with a severe mental disorder.
From teacher’s assistant to manager: career growth
Career development should be planned in advance in order to understand what specific actions will need to be taken in order to get the desired promotion.
Let’s take a closer look at the educational requirements and professional responsibilities at each stage of a kindergarten teacher’s career.
Teacher Assistant
Usually people who want to work with young children get a job as an assistant teacher. This position is suitable for beginners and does not require any experience or specialized education. The assistant teacher is not involved in conducting classes with children, but is only responsible for the cleanliness of the kindergarten premises and performs the functions of a nanny. At this stage, there is a good opportunity to get education as an educator in order to secure a career in the future. An assistant educator is not always a young graduate of an educational institution, because a person at a more conscious age can also decide to change his profession.
Junior caregiver
If you have a secondary specialized education or special courses, you can apply for the position of a junior educator. At this stage, the specialist already has a minimum pedagogical background, gets the opportunity to help a more experienced colleague and participate in classes for children.
Educator
Specialists in this position directly interact with preschoolers and set themselves the task of identifying the creative and mental potential, promoting the development and adaptation of children. Educators teach kids the rules of hygiene and behavior, conduct developing game classes, form communication skills with peers and adults, and prepare for school. In addition to children, educators communicate with their parents, keep the necessary documentation, monitor the condition of the kindergarten premises.
If you already have a higher or secondary vocational education, but no work experience, then you can still start a career in a preschool institution right from this position by completing additional professional retraining courses (training in such courses lasts approximately 4 to 8 months).
Educators confirm their qualifications every 5 years, and for the likelihood of rapid career and salary growth, they undergo certification in order to increase the category (there are three in total: 2nd, 1st and highest).
Senior teacher, methodologist
If you have a diploma of higher education and at least two years of experience as an educator, you can apply for the position of senior educator (methodologist). The tasks of this professional level will be: to develop and implement methodological recommendations for pupils and their parents, plans, training programs. The duties of the senior educator also include reporting, planning all activities, monitoring the work of teachers and analyzing their qualifications and competencies.
Head of preschool educational institution
The next (and last) step is the head of the kindergarten. This profession is not a pedagogical one, but implies a full knowledge of all the processes of preschool education. It is the leader who is responsible for the proper care of the pupils, their level of education, health promotion, and safety in a kindergarten.
Important fact! If your plans include eventually taking a leadership position – a college / technical school diploma will not be enough, higher education is mandatory. You can enroll in a university on a part-time basis in order to be able to combine study with work.
In addition to higher education, you will need at least 5 years of work experience in the pedagogical field. It is clear that the most stringent requirements are imposed on the head of the preschool educational institution, because his duties include:
-
management of teaching staff and service personnel;
-
budget planning;
-
knowledge of the current requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard;
-
recruitment;
-
completing groups taking into account the wishes of parents and in accordance with the age, state of health and other individual characteristics of children;
-
reception of parents on various issues and requirements.
A set of personal qualities that will help you get to a leadership position will include: purposefulness, responsibility, the ability to organize work moments, stress resistance, leadership positions, and the ability to plan.
Our training course will help you quickly find the coveted position of the head of a preschool educational institution – in just 4 months you will learn how to manage a kindergarten in accordance with existing state standards and requirements.
