Take a course in first aid and get certified in CPR. You may want to learn about childcare (giving baths, changing diapers, etc) for more experience. I have never heard of a babysitting license?

Take a chilcare class or two and watch a few children in your home.  Then you can turn it into a daycare.  Also, look into becoming a nanny.

You need to check with the local childcare licensing department for their regulations.  However, most, if not all states require that anyone directly taking care of children in a childcare setting must be at least 18 years old.

It's true.  Associates degrees don't get you anywhere except maybe an internship.  I have an Assoc. in Education, and I couldn't even get a job as an aide in a daycare.

Go to the website for ODJFS (Ohio Department of Job and Family Services). They will either have information there for you or you can download the rules for daycare providers and the first section of those rules (if I'm remembering correctly) will tell you what steps to take and what requirements you have to meet. Good luck!

To work in advertising you need a degree. To be an art director you'll need an art degree and to be a copy writer you'll need an English degree. You could also do marketing which would translate well.\n\nIt is a massively competitive market with a high redundancy rate, so you need to have a degree and work late nights etc. to get ahead. It does pay very well though.

Oh yes there are many many places and types of education for caregivers. It all depends on what area you want to go to. Elderly, children, special needs and many more. Google caregivers or go to Universities and/or colleges here in Canada. I am in that buisness myself, actually in the midst of changing my career to be in that area. If you need more detailed information, feel free to email me and we can talk more about what it is you are looking for.Good luck and enjoy!Ps why would you get sacked for NOT getting the information?????

If you are going to get a bachelors degree in photography, do you have to have a minor as well? I would think that you might want to consider minoring in business management (if you want to own or manage a store) or in animal science (you could learn about basic animal care, etc). \n\nAnother thing to consider is going to a community college or vocational program in animal science or veterinary science. That would give you the background in animal care. Some of these programs also give you some background in business management. The nice thing about community college programs is that they are often available part-time and at night, so if you are working as a photographer you can continue your education conveniently and at reasonable cost. I think if you look at small animal care programs that this is what you would find relevent and interesting.\n\nHere are examples of a two year program in small animal care:\nhttp://www.unh.edu/undergrad-catalog/0405/webtsas.html\n\nhttp://campus.devalcol.edu/smallanimal/index.htm\n\nThere are vocational schools that are private and offer non-degree programs in animal care. They are worth checking out, but I caution you to be very careful with reviewing the courses as there is less oversight of these programs and there isn't necessarily a national standard of coursework.

Check your local university's Education Department. The secretary will be able to provide up-to-date information concerning degree requirements and even alternative certification programs. Good luck.

I think most of the ebooks offering daycare kits are paid, but there are excellent sites that provide information on how to start this business:\n\nChild Care Center Business Plan Workbook http://www.misbtdc.org/documents/BPWORKBK.pdf\nStarting a Daycare Business \nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol40/daycare.htm\nHow to Start a Quality Child Care Business http://www.sba.gov/library/pubs/mp-29.pdf

You can have a campaign saying "Train to work at home", as they could open their own daycare at home after they get certified.  You should put emphasis on "Home Based Business" when you start the promotion.

It is different with each state.  You need to look at your state government website to see if there is info or who to contact.  In Louisiana, to be a director, you need either 1 or 2 years of experience working in a daycare.  The building has to meet certain specifications, and they have square foot per child requirements.  Also, there are worker/child ratios that are smaller for younger children and larger for older children.\n\nAgain, find your state government website and start there on your search for the regulations.
