Why do childcarers have to have first aid? Nannies and childcarers  are required by law  to have first aid training because they are responsible for the immediate safety and wellbeing of children in their care. Accidents, injuries, or sudden illnesses can happen at any time, and a nanny must be prepared to respond quickly and calmly. First aid certification ensures they know how to handle emergencies like choking, allergic reactions, burns, falls, or even CPR if a child stops breathing. For families, knowing their nanny is trained in first aid provides peace of mind and reinforces trust that their children are in capable, prepared hands — especially when parents aren't home to help.

 What is a Working With Children Check WWCC? A Working with Children Check (WWCC) in Australia is a mandatory screening process for anyone who works or volunteers with children. It involves a national criminal history check and a review of relevant workplace misconduct records to determine whether a person poses a risk to the safety of children. Each Australian state and territory administers its own version of the check (e.g., NSW, VIC, QLD), but the purpose is the same: to protect children from harm. Individuals who pass the check are issued a clearance number or card, which must be renewed periodically. Employers, including nanny agencies and families, are legally required to verify that a valid WWCC is in place before engaging someone in child-related work.

Why does Australian Nanny Agency ask for 5 written references? We ask for five written references from nanny candidates to ensure a consistent, proven track record of trustworthiness, professionalism, and quality care. These references give us a deeper understanding of a candidate’s reliability, attitude, communication style, and how they’ve connected with children and families in real-life situations. More than one or two references helps us identify patterns — not just one-off experiences — and gives families confidence that the person they’re hiring has been thoroughly vetted across multiple roles. Ultimately, it’s about protecting families and setting a high standard for care.

What  is an Early Childhood Educator (or ECT)? An Early Childhood Educator, also known as an ECT (Early Childhood Teacher), is a qualified professional who specialises in the development, learning, and wellbeing of young children—typically from birth to age five. ECTs hold formal qualifications in early childhood education, such as a Bachelor of Education or Diploma in Early Childhood. They are trained to create age-appropriate learning environments, support emotional and social development, and prepare children for school readiness. When you hire a nanny with ECT qualifications, you’re engaging someone with both childcare experience and a strong educational foundation.
