"To be a nanny I don't think you need any special certificates or licenses. The education that you need is child development classes, CPR classes, stuff like that. But yeah. It's pretty much what you need. If you go to college and if you have a degree and a masters or anything, it's really about the love that you have for the kid. I don't think it matters about the education that you have. It really depends on your personality. If you wanted to do something else with kids like become a teacher, become someone that watches kids for a special need, they have special needs, then yes, you would need the education. The personal skills that you need is you need to be outgoing, you need to have a personality for sure to be able to play with the kids and you need to have common sense. That's the biggest one, common sense."
