Well it all depends on that you want to do to help children...
Public school teacher = degree and teacher certifications
Public school counselor= master and counselor certifications
LSSP= Masters and certifications as a psychologist
Speech therapist= Masters and therapist certifications
Non title 1 paraprofessional = willingness to do it
Title 1 paraprofessional = pass the para test or have 30 college hours
Daycare worker= willingness to do it
Tutor= someone willing to hire you
Again it all depends on what you want to do. The more responsibility you have in shaping their lives or for the safety of their lives a certification is necessary. The more you are just a body filling a role the less of a need of a certification.
Thank you for answering! And thank you for listing the possible jobs and what education they needed. Just another quick question, what is a paraprofessional?
