Daycare providers wanted in Allerød Municipality

Would you like to create a safe and developing everyday life for the youngest children – in your own home? We are seeking engaged and professional day-care providers (dagplejere), who with warm hands, gentle voices and high professionalism will help to create a daily life where the children thrive, develop and feel themselves as an important part of the community.

A work life a little beyond the ordinary

As a day-care provider you work from home and have three fixed children around you. This provides an opportunity to create a calm and attentive everyday life, where you can closely follow each child’s development.

You also get great freedom to organize the daily life within the framework we work under. There is room for play in the living room, trips out into the world, a visit to the playground, deepening in a book or just the good moment when nothing else needs to happen than to be together.

And if you have a small child yourself, there is an opportunity to take care of your own child at the same time. This means that you can be close to your own child in the important early years and at the same time be part of a professional work community.
