FAQs for finding childcare jobs

What is the pay rate for a childcare job in 2024?

As of July 2024, the average childcare job posted on Care.com pays £12.14 per hour at a national level. This rate may vary depending on where you live, how many kids you need to care for, what your previous childcare experience is, any specialised training or certifications you have, and how many hours you will need to work per day or per week.

How can I find a childcare job?

You can filter open positions for all childcare jobs available in your area and compare them by hourly rate, whether the position is part-time or full-time, how many kids you will need to care for and what the ages of the kids are. You then need to create a profile on Care.com that lists the childcare experience you have and what your desired childcare job entails. Besides applying to open jobs, the families can also contact you directly about their needs.

How do I prepare for a childcare job interview?

To help stand out from the other childcare providers a family is interviewing, make sure you have thoroughly reviewed the job description so you can speak directly to the family's needs and anticipate questions they may have. You should arrive a little early and bring extra copies of your resume and the certifications you've earned. Expect the family to ask detailed questions about how you will act in specific situations you will find yourself in while caring for their children. Don't be shy about asking for clarification if you don't understand a question or have questions for the family. It's just as important that you're comfortable working for the family as they are having you work for them.
