• the ability to be flexible and change working methods and structure depending on the context you are in

To succeed as a childcare worker with us, it is important that you have both teamwork skills and a good ability to build relationships with students, guardians, and colleagues. With your pedagogical insight, you can understand and adapt to different students' and groups' ways of learning, which allows you to choose methods and tools that fit their unique needs.
