What do you need to do to become a Nanny?
Asked by electrical2601
My fiance wants to become a home care Nanny. She doesn't have a college degree though. What do you need to do to become a legal Nanny. If it requires a license, how do you get one?

Best Answer:
where do you live? i have worked as a nany-live in and live out.i started in high school.i became cpr/first aid certified,i also took child care and development courses at a nearby college.i also had a background check. you dont need a license,but she should have plenty of personal and professional references-even just from babysitting. have her sign up with a few online agencys-they are free- enannysource.com sittercity.com

Not sure what state your from but in Canada all you need is a police report. Having a clear record and St. Johns First Aid and W.H.I.M.S. and you have it made.

There is nothing required to be a nanny in the US ... CPR and First Aid are things that most parents want nannies to have. If she wants to do in-home daycare, on the other hand - that does require a license and the requirements vary based on what county and state you live in. I would recommend finding some of the online nanny resources and see if there are families in your area who are looking for a nanny. Tell her to apply and get her name out. shiningstarnannies.com enannysource.com nannies4hire.com gonannies.com sittercity.com
