How To Become A Nanny
Our co-founder Laurine started as a nanny and her advice is: “Roles like waiter, waitress, babysitting, or valet. Entry-level jobs with fewer responsibilities help you work up, especially within the same sector.”
Her own path: “Five years of babysitting in France. That was crucial for getting my first nanny job in London.”
Start where you are. Babysit for neighbors. Work after-school care. Take summer positions. Build references. Show up consistently. Treat other people’s children with the same care you’d want for your own.
Qualifications help. Ellie, who recruits maternity nurses and nannies for Morgan & Mallet confirms: “Over the last few years, families have placed greater emphasis on verifiable references and formal qualifications. NNEB, NCT training, neonatal certificates, documented HNW/UHNW family experience – these strongly increase your chance of being placed. Families are also keen on like-for-like family experience.”
But references matter more than certificates for many families. Prove you’re reliable, kind, patient, and children thrive with you, that opens doors.

What Nanny References Show
Our team doesn’t just collect reference letters. They have conversations.
Laurine says “The best way to ensure a good reference is speaking directly to them rather than relying on a letter or email. We use open-ended questions: What were the dates of employment? What duties did they perform?”
Not loaded questions with easy yes answers. Open questions that let references talk.
Example: “We once called a nanny reference who revealed the candidate cooked for the family daily. That was an additional positive duty the candidate hadn’t mentioned.”
Candidates forget things. Especially tasks that happened naturally, you cooked because the parents were running late, you helped with laundry because it needed doing, you organized the playroom because chaos bothered you.
Your references remember the things that you might have otherwise forgotten, that’s why we find them so important.
Laurine won’t move forward with just three email references and no call. “We require speaking to at least one person and generally look for three references. If you’ve worked for a single employer ten years, one reference is acceptable.”
For candidates with limited household references, she checks other work: “To assess mindset, reliability, trustworthiness. A teacher reference or chemist reference still reveals character.”
What Families Actually Need From Nannies
Reliability: Show up when expected. Don’t cancel last-minute unless genuinely sick. Parents plan their entire day around your schedule.
Genuine care: Children know when you’re just going through the motions. Parents know too.
Communication: Tell parents what happened during the day. Not just “everything was fine”, actual specific things. What the child ate, how they napped, what they played, any behavior changes.
Flexibility: “Nannies can’t eat together while children are awake,” Laurine explains about household rules. Your schedule bends around children’s needs, not the reverse.
Boundaries: Our team discovered candidates often forget to mention their availability on applications. Be clear about hours you can work, flexibility limits, schedule constraints. Different expectations hurt everyone.
Safety first: Non-negotiable. Traffic, food, water, strangers, household dangers, your alertness keeps children safe.
Age-appropriate activities: Not just screen time. Play that helps children develop.
Patience: Children test you every day, sometimes hourly.
