I have recently started working with a little girl (8) and I am not sure about nappy changing etc.
All of the places I have worked, except for a few exceptions, I have always only done personal care with the boy's and thats what I am used to.
I am concerned about her possibly missing out on activities due to issues with needing to change her, and am thinking that perhaps she is better off with having a female carer. But I am starting to think does it really matter that much, as long as the child is happy with it?
I know that she loves swimming and if I was to take her then I would have to change her as I am working 1 to 1 with her and as I have said I don't want her to miss out. Should I just get on with it? I have changed little boys more times than I can remember and it will all be much of the same.
When I took her out last week we went to soft play and mum sent us with a changing bag just incase, so it obviously dosen't bother her that much.
