A diploma comes with a handsome pay raise

It is always a good feeling to know that you are recognised for your knowledge and expertise. A Nanny Diploma from ICI is all about procuring that industry-leading expertise which would help you perform your duties effectively, while also giving you authority to discharge your responsibilities through formally-acquired qualifications.

Pay in the industry pretty much depends on experience working with children, and demonstration of knowledge based on your education. When you apply for a position, parents look for valid work experience, and also your formal education. Having qualifications is a sure shot way negotiate higher pay against someone who may not be able to substantiate their knowledge and expertise through qualifications.

Nannying is a multifaceted profession

Of all the things that are nice about being a nanny, this is perhaps the best. For one, you can be sure that no two days would be the same. And if you are a live-in nanny, you are not just a professional who works to strict office hours from nine to five, you’re instead a member of the family.

Being a nanny entails a whole range of responsibilities including cooking meals, helping the family with their chores, participating with parents in planning the schedule, and dropping off as well as picking up kids from school. This makes for an experience quite unlike any other.

The role of a nanny could be performed to higher standards and to your satisfaction when you take up the Nanny Diploma. Enroll today to our nanny course and start your carrier.
