Hey everyone! I wanted to see if I could get some input on this. I finished my last day at my former job on Tuesday (it was a non-medical job) and am looking for employment that would allow me to add to my healthcare background in some way, shape or form outside of what I do for volunteering. I'm looking for an alternative to working as a scribe or in a lab or anything that, having been unsuccessful in securing anything like that, for the summer and then seeing what next fall brings with regard to other employment opportunities. Although I know employment in a healthcare environment is not mandatory for medical schools, I still would like to have some form of providing care to others in my background. My question is, has anyone here had experience working at a public daycare working as either a childcare attendant or as a teacher's aide? I like the idea in that it would allow for the opportunity for gaining supervisory experience and as I'm not currently certified in First Aid or CPR, I would be able to obtain those certifications too. And I know working at a daycare would be much different then working in an actual healthcare environment but I'm looking for something that might still allow me to work in an environment where I can still provide care for others. Just wanted to get opinions from others on it as a possible employment experience and if anyone here has done it, what your own experiences were like. Thanks a lot! 🙂
