Summer Nanny Jobs

It has been a long time since I have worked as a Nanny but I remember that one of the highlights of working as a Nanny is the freedom to get out and about with the children. Being stuck in an office just wasn’t for me; trips to the park and river with the children always broke up the working day.

Children should have access to play and explore outside in all weathers the whole year round, however the freedom to get out and about with the children can be at it’s most enjoyable in the summer.

The need for childcare changes during the long school summer holidays. The wraparound care that parents rely on in term time is often not enough for working parents. Some parents manage to juggle with the help of friends; family and using their annual leave creatively. However this approach to summer childcare can leave everyone feeling frazzled. If at all possible solving your summer holiday childcare needs with a summer Nanny job will create that sense of calm and consistent care. It will also mean that you can use your annual leave for a well-deserved holiday.

So who are you likely to find looking for summer Nanny jobs? Students are probably the most likely applicants, if you can get a student who is studying childcare this would be good, however childcare courses tend to be vocational so most childcare students are in full time employment already. Another possibility is childcare students who have just qualified. Childcare courses do tend to be modular, so it’s not the case that all students qualify in the summer, but inevariably a good number will naturally qualify in July. You may also find Nannies who are looking for a new position that will take on a summer Nanny job to bridge the gap between jobs. You may also find a number of applicants for summer Nanny jobs who are not studying childcare or qualified as a childcare professional. In this case you can consider their experience, reasons for looking for summer Nanny jobs and references. You may find that unqualified applicants will accept a lower salary. Whoever you consider to fill your summer Nanny jobs remember to be vigilant in your recruitment and selection procedures.
