Key facts – working as a nanny

Thinking of working as a nanny?

There are no set entry requirements, but you may find it easier to become a nanny if you have a college qualification in childcare. Many courses include a placement. If not, it will help if you’ve gained voluntary experience working with children.

You’ll need to be aged 18 or over.

You’ll also need clearance from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
