You will need to have a resume to show your employer during the interview. Your resume basically has information about your past work history, work experiences, study qualifications etc. If you need help in preparing your resume, simply Google it and you can find a lot of templates that you can use. On your resume you will also need to include two references. The references on your resume should be two different people you have worked with in previous jobs or if you haven't worked before they could be people you did work experience with. You will also need to provide your employer with details of any experiences you may have had in the past. If you have done babysitting for family and friends you should definitely mention it, if you have a younger sibling that you take care of, let the employer know.

If you haven't got any experience you can add to your resume then you can include your practical placement that you did with your certificate 3. Add the centre as well as the tasks you did. For example - supervised children during outdoor play, set up experiences, completed household tasks etc.
