What employers look forFrom the Steward / Nanny guide
Captains and chief stews want real childcare experience. That could be a CACHE Level 3, a Norland diploma, early years teaching, or several years with a private family. Paediatric first aid is close to mandatory, and an enhanced background check such as a UK DBS is expected. You need to be a strong, confident swimmer. Interior experience helps, but many people join from land nannying with STCW and a GUEST interior course. Families prefer calm, discreet people who stay for several seasons, because children get attached to familiar faces.
