Should I quit my job and go back to school full time if I want to become a nanny?

Starting Over with a Full Time Nanny Job

In order to get a full-time nanny job, you really should have some solid skills behind you. Going back to school is one way to make sure you get the skills you need to be a great nanny. Don't worry if you can't go back to school full-time. Maybe you're already working somewhere and you're just looking for a career change. If that's the case, and you can't attend school during the day, have a look around at local colleges and universities. In the spirit of lifelong learning, academia recognizes that students come from all walks of life, financial backgrounds, cultural backgrounds, etc. The reality is that not everyone can just up and quit a job to go back to school. Check out the websites of nearby universities to see what kinds of online courses, evening courses, or weekend workshops are available.

The best courses to take are the ones that will give you instantly credibility to work a full time nanny job. First Aid/CPR, child psychology, managing child behavior, etc, are good choices to start with. If you really want to get out there and work as a nanny, consider specializing in areas where parents may find it a little harder to find a nanny, like working with special needs children. First things first though…start taking some courses.
