What makes a good nanny?
According to Morningside Nannies, being a great nanny requires more than a genuine love of children. Nannies work long hours in private homes and most often work with no supervision or daily oversight.

Here’s what to consider:
- Love the company of kids
- Has a basic understanding of child development
- Advocate for childcare
- Have a lot of energy
- Be safely conscious
- Have good communication skills
- Be flexible
- Be understanding
- Have a nurturing spirit
- Be responsible
- Be trustworthy
- Be respectful
- Be organised
- Be self-motivated
- Prepare to handle an emergency
- Be creative
- No criminal record
- Be proactive
- Have strong morals
