Hi just wondering if anyone has information in regards with when a educator can be the only educator with children as long as they are with in ratio?

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 ?

I hope I have answered what you needed to know your question is a little hard for me to understand what you need to know

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.
