To thrive in a Church Nursery role, you need experience in child care, knowledge of child safety protocols, and basic first aid skills, usually reflected through prior babysitting or early childhood education experience. Familiarity with check-in/check-out procedures, attendance logs, and sometimes CPR certification is often expected. Patience, strong communication, and a nurturing attitude are essential soft skills to build trust with children and parents. These abilities are crucial for maintaining a safe, welcoming environment where young children are cared for while parents participate in church activities.
