As an early childhood educator and professional nanny you’ll have intelligence warmth and patience. You must be able to relate well with both children and their parents. You must be well spoken, dress well and have good manners. The work is physically demanding, and you’lll be on your feet all day.

A well-rounded personality, a wide range of life experience and an ability to work with the demands of young children is essential.

Summary of Entry Requirements

All applicants must be physically able to perform the work usually required of an early childhood educator or professional nanny. They must supply contact details for three referees and give permission to contact them and must provide evidence of experience with children. All applicants are interviewed by the principal (or delegated staff member) to be judged capable of undertaking training to the required standard. A history of successful study will assist your application.

Extra requirements for entry to the New Zealand Certificate in Nanny Education

For the level 5 course school leavers must have a minimum of NCEA Level 2 or four years secondary education or equivalent and show potential to study at tertiary level. Mature applicants only need to give evidence of their potential to study at tertiary level.
