What exactly do you mean by this question?? a Qualified Educator can be alone with a child if they are within the ratio regulations for age group meaning

children aged 6 weeks to two is 1 educator to every 4 children

children 24 months up to 36 months is 1 to 5 children

children 36 months and up by memory is 1 to 10 children

if you are running family day care by memory you can have 4 children preschool age and under but up to 7 children all up as long as the 3 remainder are over preschool age.

is this what u wanted to know ?

How many children are you alone with at a time?

What are their ages?

so unless you have any certificate or diploma you can not be left alone with children?

No you should never be left alone with the children if you do not have any qualifications, In fact to my knowledge you shouldn't even be working within the centre without qualifications, the only way you may be in the centre working with the children without qualifications is during work placement.

If you are actively working towards your qualification then you can be counted as part of the ratio requirements...
