What employers look forFrom the Nanny guide
Captains and parents hire for experience and references above all. A recognised qualification such as Norland, CACHE Level 3 or an early years degree carries weight, as do several years with private families. Paediatric first aid is expected. Strong swimming, a clean background check and a second language, often French, Russian or Arabic, all help. Many families want discretion first and someone who fits quietly into a crew of twenty.

QuestionsSee what a Nanny earns
What tickets should a Nanny CV list?
List STCW Basic Safety Training, ENG1 medical certificate, Paediatric first aid (12-hour) and Enhanced DBS background check first, each with the date it was issued. Then add Norland, CACHE Level 3 or early years degree and PDSD (Proficiency in Designated Security Duties) if you hold them.
How long should a Nanny CV be?
Two pages at most. Give your last three jobs in detail and one line each to older ones.
Can I copy this example CV?
Use the layout and the order, then replace every line with your own details. Never list a ticket or a job you do not have: captains and crew agents check certificates and call references.
