Professional Nanny of the Year Award 2005 in Association with Nannytax

The Professional Nanny of the Year award, introduced in 2004 was created to recognise the highly professional, important role nannies play in providing high quality, safe and flexible childcare to thousands of families throughout the UK. Nannies are often the invisible professionals and it is hoped that this award will significantly raise the profile of professional nannies and help to give them the recognition they so rightly deserve.

The focus of the award is very much on professional and in order to qualify for nomination your nanny must:

• Be qualified to Level 3 standard
• Have a minimum of 2 years nannying experience
• Have an enhanced CRB check
• Have a current first-aid certificate (early years)
• Be currently employed as a nanny
• Be nominated by current or previous employer
• The nomination must include a Professional Endorsement by, for example, a college lecturer, a training placement manager, the employer’s GP or a health visitor
• Submit a 500 word description of a typical working day
• Submit a current CV and head and shoulders photograph
• Be prepared, if short listed, to attend a personal interview to be held on September 22 at Chiltern College, Reading, and to provide all original documentation of training certificate, CRB disclosure and first aid certificate
• Be free on the date of the Professional Nanny Conference, which is to be held in London on Saturday 1st October 2005

The winner of the 2004 award, Louise Kirk, 25 year-old nanny to Kate, has already proved her worth as an ambassador for the profession.

If you think your nanny is right for the award, why not make her day and nominate her? We look forward to receiving your nomination and wish your nanny the very best of luck. Closing date for nominations is Thursday 30th June 2005.
