Abstract
- More than 150 references dealing with roles, skills, and job tasks in child care work that have appeared since 1930 were located and analyzed. They appeared to group themselves into six categories within the overall role: parent substitute/primary caretaker; therapeutic intervention; membership in a professional team; training provided to the worker; membership in an emerging profession; and new roles and tasks involving the family and the community. Lists of specific tasks identified are provided in five categories, and all the references are categorized as well.
