Nannying work or childcare jobs aren’t always the first that comes to mind when thinking of high-earning vocations.
However, especially in recent years, the demand for nannies has increased significantly.
With the pandemic affecting our everyday lives, many families are choosing to opt for nannies over leaving their little ones at day-care centres.
But many wonder how a profession as a nanny can garner a large income.
Well, Seek.com’s career advice on nannying professions suggests that the following assist in making high-earning nannies:
- Working With Children Check, a National Police Check
- First Aid Certificate and CPR certification.
- Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care (CHC30113) through TAFE or a registered training organisation.
- Bachelor degree in education
- Joining the Australian Nanny Association, which have their minimum requirements for accreditation.
In addition to qualification and having the right checks to become a nanny, you also need to possess a number of key personal attributes, including:
- Patience, reliability, punctuality and integrity
- The ability to care for small children whilst keeping them safe and happy
- And, of course, a genuine love of children
