Are there certified nursing assistants who work with babies and children in hospital?


if there is, where do you get training if you want to be one>

Of course, there are pediatric CNA's and PCT's. Most cities have trade colleges that teach both CNA and PCT classes, then you just apply at a hospital for a position in Peds.

Here's an example of PCT jobs with some in children care.

For more hands on care of children, you would need to be an LPN or RN. Check local junior colleges or high school vo-tech programs. Good luck.

Yes, depends on the hospital. I was offered a job in labor and delivery. You have to go into the hospital and see what positions they have open. Just keep trying and never give up. Also make sure you are child and infant CPR certified.

Some hospitals employ aides on the peds units and maternity units. You will have to check with your local hospitals HR department to see what (if any) credentialling that may be required.
The hospital where I work uses aides on both units in one capacity or another and training is provided upon being hired.
