Movements and Posture in Childcare

Children seem light... but carrying them around all day causes back pain and neck aches! So when on top of that you have to sit on the floor, give meals on low tables, or manoeuvre pushchairs... you get hurt! Childcare jobs are inherently hard, but there are always some improvement possibilities, both in terms of posture and of ergonomics.

Less effort, more comfort...

The less force you exert, the more relaxed the children are in your arms: this is the law of action and reaction. The best posture techniques are win-win!

Olivier and his team have extensive experience in the field of childcare. Whatever children age you work with, you will learn techniques from them that you never even could imagine.

Whether it’s carrying children, getting up from the floor or giving a bottle, there are many tips and tricks. Not to mention the exercises that should be done during and after work to protect your back, neck and shoulders.

And of course, you also benefit from Oliiver and his team’s expertise in choosing the most comfortable furniture: tables, kids beds, armchairs or cushions… They share what they have seen and experienced in the many crèches in Switzerland that have already called on them.
