The specific qualifications required to be a nanny with an agency may vary, but generally, you will need to have:

  • Experience: Experience caring for children of different ages is essential. At ABN we require a two-year minimum amount of experience.
  • Education: A high school diploma or equivalent education is typically required. Some families may prefer nannies with certifications in child development or early childhood education.
  • Training: CPR and first aid training is required for nannies, especially those caring for infants and young children.
  • References: Five references are needed for your nanny profile. Positive references from previous families, childcare providers, or previous employers will strengthen your application.
  • Clean background check: A clean background check is crucial for demonstrating your trustworthiness and suitability for childcare.
