Vaine and Chrissy are going to be helping at the Love-a-bye
Day Care Centre today to learn skills in looking after babies. They have been
shown where to go and they will be looking after twelve girls between the ages
of 10 months and 18 months.
The first job they are asked to do is prepare the lunch for
the baby girls. Vaine is going to cut up the pineapple into small pieces and put orange juice in the
babies’ bottles and in plastic glasses for the girls who can drink from a
glass. Chrissy is going to make the peanut butter sandwiches.
After Chrissy and Vaine give the girls their lunch they
take them one at a time to the potty.
It takes them quite a while to settle them down on mats to
have an afternoon sleep.
When they wake up Chrissy reads them some nursery rhymes.
Chrissy stays with them while they play with the toys
while Vaine is setting up the ride on toys outside.
Vaine opens the outside door and the girls start crawling
outside to play on the toys.
The supervisor comes outside and asks Chrissy and Vaine to
bring the girls inside now because the mothers will start arriving to pick them
up and take them home. Chrissy and Vaine leave the centre when the last girl is
picked up. They have both enjoyed their day.
