Thinking of becoming a nanny...

[littlemissblue2000]

Hi all,

I have 3 children (9, 5 and 4) and my youngest dd is starting school in September. I have a degree in English and education studies and was a senior nursery nurse from 2007-2015 when I left to be a stay at home mum.

From Sept all my children will be in school so I was debating becoming a nanny..I have a friend who is a nanny and she isn't ofsted registered and has always chosen jobs to suit her - part time, in school hours which is what I would need to do.

Do I need any other qualifications? It seems a little too easy! Can get references from nursery etc not sure where to start!!

Thanks for any advice

Do the jobs which are in school time actually exist? There can't be many of them.

Site like www.nannyjob.co.uk have job listings... see what hours are wanted be employers in your area. I doubt you will find many that are term time only during school hours.

Parents often like someone to have experience so think of all the experience you have... your own children and other children.

First aid training - useful for everyone to have but especially so anyone with or working with children.
