In my previous role, I once dealt with a child who was extremely anxious about a medical procedure. I handled it by first building trust through gentle conversation and play. I explained the process in simple terms and involved the child in decision-making to make them feel more in control. By maintaining a calm and reassuring demeanor, I was able to help the child feel safe and cooperative, ultimately making the procedure go smoothly.

I prioritize safety by strictly adhering to all safety protocols and guidelines. I closely monitor children’s activities, ensuring they are not at risk of harm. I also maintain open communication with parents and healthcare professionals to address any concerns promptly. By staying vigilant and proactive, I ensure a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care.

I engage children by tailoring activities to their interests and developmental levels. Whether it’s reading stories, playing games, or creating crafts, I make sure the activities are both fun and educational. I also encourage interactive play to promote social interaction and emotional well-being. By keeping the children actively engaged, I help make their stay more enjoyable and less stressful.

When a child becomes upset, I first assess the cause of their distress. I then use empathy and active listening to validate their feelings. I may offer comfort through soothing words or physical reassurance, such as a gentle touch or a hug if appropriate. I also try to redirect their attention to something positive or engaging to help them regain their composure.

I have experience with basic medical equipment such as thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, and oxygen masks. I am trained in assisting with routine procedures like taking vital signs and preparing patients for minor treatments. I follow strict hygiene protocols and ensure that all equipment is used correctly and safely. My goal is to provide support while maintaining a calm and reassuring presence for the child.
