How to Become a Celebrity's Babysitter

Becoming a babysitter to the stars isn't easy. Getting the gig is a mix of luck and being prepared. Scoring a celebrity nanny job may mean travel, a live-in position in a terrific location and brushing elbows with the rich and famous. If you want to be a celebrity babysitter, make your own luck in order to achieve your goal.

Instructions

1. 

   Live where celebrities live. Outside of California, this could be Toronto, Las Vegas or anywhere else that celebrities work and live. You need to be close enough to interview for the job, and demonstrate knowledge of local schools, parks and shops.

2. 

   Gain skills and expertise. Take courses to earn an associates degree or bachelors degree in child development and education. The more credentials you have, the higher your resume will rise to the pile. Take child CPR training and general first aid courses.

3. 

   Build experience by babysitting for other people in the business. Start working for agents, producers, directors, make up artists and anyone else that may have contact with celebrities.

4. 

   Send your resume to agents and studios. Your resume should include pertinent information like your education, training, personal references and why you are a good fit to babysit for celebrities.

5. 

   Sign up with a service that caters to celebrities. Some nanny agencies that cater to the rich and famous accept applications from new nannies and babysitters. A nanny service can also help place you, so you can build up your contacts.
