Automation vector
Childcare workers in nurseries are responsible for the physical well-being and safety of young children in a physical play and learning environment. The work involves constant tasks of hygiene, feeding, and physical preventive surveillance against accidents. The impossibility of delegating the care of small children to machines for reasons of safety, ethics, and child emotional development ensures the total in-person nature of this human role.
