How to become a Babysitter/Nanny
The first step to complete is getting your high school diploma or GED. Home economics and psychology are two classes offered in high school that would be helpful in this role. You need a valid driver's license, with a safe driving history to chauffer the children to doctor appointments and other places. Accredited training classes, which last from 12 to 16 weeks, are available at many state agencies. After finishing a class at the American Council of Nanny School, you can affix “certified professional” to a nanny job title.
