About the job

Do you want to play, laugh, explore and be meaningful in children's everyday life?

"I have never tried it before – so I can surely do it."

  • Pippi Longstrømpe

Some of the most important moments in a child's life begin in play. Perhaps the child lacks the courage to participate, and right here they need adults who can help them into the community, into the imagination - and perhaps an adult who can support and provide security through the small words: “Come, we’ll try together.”

At Lille Højstrup Børnehus we are looking for a pedagogical assistant who wants to be close to the children in all that fills their everyday life – play, relationships, small victories, conflicts, laughter and all the moments when children develop together with others.

With us you are not “just extra hands.” You are an important part of the children's day.

A house filled with life

We are a daycare center with many different children, families and perspectives. Here children may be different, and we work every day so that all children experience that they belong to the community.

That means we adults are close to the children. We participate in the play, help children into relationships, create security and follow the children's initiatives and curiosity.

Some days we go on trips. Other days we comfort, sing, clown around, investigate earthworms, read the same book five times or help a child find the courage to join in.

That is the work we love.

You fit in well with us if you

  • enjoy being with children and being active in their play.
  • are caring and meet children with calm and warmth.
  • can be goofy, curious and present.
  • have an eye for children who need help to join in the community.
  • think it makes sense to create good days for children.
  • want to develop yourself together with other adults.

You don't need to know everything beforehand. The most important thing is that you want to be a part of the children's world and help create a place where children feel safe, happy and meaningful.

We believe that children develop through relationships and play

Therefore, it is important for us that daily life is not only about practical tasks, but about presence, participation and community.

For children not necessarily remember what we said.

But they remember how it felt to be together with us.

If you can see yourself in a house with warmth, energy, play and room for both children and adults, we would love to hear from you.
