Whether caring for them during the first five years of life or teaching them in an educational setting, a childcare worker plays a critical role in a child's early life. A childhood educator must have the patience and diligence to care for a child, and adapt different teaching methods to find the most effective learning style for a child. They will use pictures, books, videos and any other resource available to assist in their teachings.
