Top Tips for Nannies

Looking for your next nanny  role in the UK? Here are our expert tips to help you stand out and secure the right job.

1. Perfect Your CV
   • Keep it clear, concise, and professional – no more than two pages.
   • Highlight your childcare or housekeeping experience, including ages of children you’ve cared for.
   • List any qualifications (e.g., Paediatric First Aid, CACHE Level 3, Norland diploma).
   • Include references from previous employers.
2. Be Interview-Ready
   • Dress smartly and professionally, even if it’s a video interview or telephone chat (the client often will turn on the camera mid call)
   • Research the family and be prepared to discuss your experience, skills, and approach to childcare.
   • Speak Clearly and slowly and only answer the question you have been asked – when people are nervous they sometimes go off on a tangent.
   • Be punctual, polite, and enthusiastic – personality matters as much as experience!
   • If it’s a trial day, engage with the children naturally and show initiative.
3. Get Your Documents in Order
   Families and agencies will ask for:
   • Valid passport and right-to-work documents (British passport, visa, or settled status)
   • Enhanced DBS check (or be willing to apply for one)
   • Paediatric First Aid certificate
   • Proof of address and references
4. Show Your Flexibility & Reliability
   • Be open about your availability and whether you can do live-in, live-out, full-time, part-time, or travel roles.
   • Families appreciate reliability and commitment, so be honest about your long-term plans.
   • If you can travel with families or have extra skills (e.g., cooking, driving), highlight them!
5. Make a Great First Impression
   • Parents want someone who is kind, trustworthy, and proactive.
   • Show genuine enthusiasm for working with children or managing a household.
   • Good manners, a friendly attitude, and a smile go a long way!
