If you’re like any other parent hiring a nanny for the first time, the chances are that you’re looking for a lady with 20+ years’ experience, who has also raised her own children and excelled in nanny services. What’s more, the 20+ years’ experience will need to have been gained working as a nanny in private households and ideally, she won’t have changed jobs more than twice during t hose two decades. We get it. We see these types of requirements every day at myTamarin. What we also see is that parents with requirements like these are missing out on some of the best nanny talent out there among nannies in UK! Nursery nurses, i.e. the qualified childcare practitioners who have worked in nurseries -- or the kindergartens ( of our fellow Americans) -- are often the most overlooked but arguably the best childcare partners y ou could wish for. Here are the five reasons why nursery nurses make amazing nannies: The master of taming multiple children There are strict guidelines on the ratio of staff to children in a nursery: for under two years old, it’s one carer to three children, for two to three year olds, it’s one carer to four children, and for three to five year olds, it's one to eight children. (Eight!) For nursery nurses, this means multiple personalities, multiple tantrums, multiple nappies to be changed, multiple likes and dislikes, multiple allergies and multiple parents to update and report progress to. The ability to juggle all that while ensuring each child feels included and valued at the same time, is an art that requires patience, understanding, as well as w ell-honed multi-talking skills. If a nursery nurse has mastered all that, just think about the magic she could weave in your home with fewer children to look after and one set of family values! Creativity that’s needed when you work within four walls Being a nursery nurse requires stamina and bundles of energy, patience and tolerance, a sense of fun, good communication skills and interpersonal skills. What’s more, unlike even the best nannies who rely on organised activities such as Monkey Music and Gymboree, frequent visits to local parks or museums, and playdates with other nannies, nursery nurses have to be incredibly creative and have a vivid imagination to be able to constantly entertain (and develop) children within the confines of the nursery. Coming with an array of ideas for activities that don’t require much more than what’s already residing in your home, nursery nurses can significantly help your children’s physical, social, intellectual and emotional development. They’ll keep you in the know Nursery nurses are required to complete diaries and detailed reports for every child they’re responsible for. Information such as when and what they ate, how long they slept for, when their nappy was changed, etc. is all relayed to the parents. They will also keep track of any developmental milestones such as the first word, the first step, or that they’ve learned to roll a ball instead of throwing it, etc. If they’re used to doing this on a regular basis for a number of parents, you can comfortably expect to be updated regularly too. And they’ll make you feel involved and supported as a parent at the same t ime. Formal education and training Nursery nurses often have childcare qualifications such as NVQ in Children’s Care or CACHE (Diploma i n Child Care and Education). They also receive ongoing training from their supervisors and through organised workshops and seminars. This means they’re fully equipped to be able to support children’s early development and education and help prepare them for the next stage in their development. So, if your preference i s to have someone who is developmentally focused, then a nursery nurse may be just right for you, much more than a maternity nurse or nanny housekeeper. There are also nannies out there with some level of formal childcare training, but you don’t come across them quite so often. Salary expectations that won’t break the bank The average salary f or a nursery nurse is £18,000 to £20,000 for 35-40 hours, that’s £9.00 to £11.00 per hour, whereas the average salary for a full-time nanny is upwards of £40,000 for 50 hours. If it's a nursery nurse’s first time working as a nanny, they’ll command a salary at the lower end of the market average. What’s more, they won’t be set in their ways and will be eager to learn. For you, as a parent, this means you’ll have the opportunity to help shape and train her into becoming your practically perfect Mary Poppins. At myTamarin we’re investing in our nannies. We’ll soon be helping nannies develop their career through the myTamarin Nanny Academy. For nursery nurses looking to transition into being a nanny, it will help them get a better understanding of the expectations of the role and help them transfer the s kills they’ve already gained as a nursery nurse by joining the top nanny and childcare agency in UK.
