So where to begin I am a childcare educator I have been in childcare for 6 years I recently started at a new centre and felt like I didn’t belong so I made jokes and tried to make everyone laugh saying things like oh aha I don’t wanna work in the babies room because I have done it for two years two long 😂 which one room turned into that I hated the staff in the babies room rather than me just not enjoying the age group, I then had an incident where a little boy 2 years old doesn’t sleep which is far so I offered him a sleep later in the day at 2 pm as I was putting him to sleep I wrapped him up like a baby and patted his back as he went off to sleep I did that all last week with no problem today I get called into the office and get read out the complaints everyone made about me like me saying things I have never said, it also gets brought up about me forcing that child to sleep because I’m wrapping him which I don’t see as forcing his caregiver really wants him to sleep and she was so happy last week when he did, I then had an incident before this where a coworker was putting a little girl to sleep, little girl is sensitive to new people the coworker asked me to take over so I do the room leader comes into the sleep room and I said “oh I don’t think young girl is ready for sleep” she says let’s get her up and walks out we walk out together nothing said and then this also gets brought up in the meeting.. they fired me on the spot because I didn’t align with their Way of doing things, I’m angry and annoyed things like this can be made up with no proof.. but also worried like really worried I will lose my working with vulnerable people card in childcare, can someone please tell me if I will?
