Are childcare qualifications important?
Qualifications can be an indication that a nanny is serious about her profession, but I personally wouldn’t put it as the number one priority for when you’re choosing a nanny. If a nanny comes to you and she has 15 years of experience but no child care qualifications, you should probably think that puts her ahead of someone who has only two years of experience, but also a child care qualification. Experience is everything when you’re dealing with children.
