Tra ditionally, nannies were servants in large households and reported directly to t he lady of the house. Today, modern nannies, like other domestic workers, may li ve in or out of the house depending on their circumstances and those of their em ployers. Professional nannies are usually certified in cardiopulmonary resuscita tion, qualified in First Aid, and have a degree or extensive training in child d evelopment. There are many employment agencies that specialize in childcare and online services that aid in finding available nannies. A childminder cares for the child in the childminder's home. Depending on the co untry they live in, government registration may or may not be required. A governess, in contrast to a nanny, concentrates on teaching and training child ren. A special type of modern nanny is known as a mother's helper. They are hired to assist mothers in the chores of the household as well as care for the children. A mother's helper may live in or out of the house.

In a great house the nu rse was a more senior member of the household staff and ran her own domain, a su ite of rooms called the nursery, supported by at least one assistant, known as a nursemaid (or nurserymaid). Because of their deep involvement in raising the ch ildren of the family, nannies were often remembered with great affection and tre ated more kindly than the junior servants. Nannies may have remained in the empl oyment of the same aristocratic family for years, looking after successive gener ations of children. Colonial era[edit source | editbeta] Nannies were present in the households of the administrators of European colonia l empires throughout the world. It was a characteristic feature of colonial soci ety that the children of European administrative officers were entrusted to the care of native women. Nannies in colonial times spent their lives in the homes of their masters, often from childhood till old age, taking care of more than one generation, depending on the duration of the post. It was not uncommon for these nannies to be brough t along with the family away from their native country when administrative offic ers were posted somewhere else. In the Indian subcontinent under the British Raj a nanny was known as ayah, afte r aia, nurse, governess (Portuguese). This term is presently part of the vocabul ary of various languages of the Subcontinent, meaning also female servant or mai d. In the Dutch East Indies the household nanny was known as baboe. Although many families use the modern version of a nanny, some of the features u sed in historical practices are now rare. Uniforms may still be worn in some cas es, but a respectful standard of dress is more common. Some nannies are highly t rained, but there is no restriction on the use of the word, so education, traini ng, and experience vary greatly. In the United Kingdom, a nanny can be registere d on the voluntary Childcare Register, Types of nanny[edit source | editbeta] Live in nanny[edit source | editbeta] A "live in" nanny is less common today than in the past. Typically, a live in na nny is responsible for the entire care of the children of their employers. This includes anything from washing the children's clothes and tidying the children's rooms, to supervising homework and preparing children's meals, as well as takin g children to and from school and activities. The job may include a separate apa rtment (sometimes called a "nanny flat") and a car. A live in nanny is available 24 hours a day, unless their employment contract states otherwise. Nanny Share[edit source | editbeta] Some families use what is known as a 'nanny share', where two or more families p ay for the same nanny to care for the children in each family on a part-time bas is.[1] Night nanny/maternity nurse/Newborn Care Specialists[edit source | editbeta]

A more recent addition to the role of nanny is that of the maternity nanny or ni ght nanny. In the US these specialty maternity nannies are also known as Newborn Care Specialists (NCS, disassociating this specialty for true nursing. The nigh t nanny usually works with a family anywhere from one night to seven nights per week. A night nanny generally works with children from newborn to five years of age. A night nanny can provide a teaching role, helping parents to establish goo d sleeping patterns or trouble shooting the sleeping patterns of a child. Some N ewborn Care Specialists or maternity nannies work 24 hours a day, seven days per week, for the first few months of a newborn's life. The role can also consist o f assisting parents with feeding guidance, nursery set up, postnatal care of the mother and baby, and sleep guidance. The qualifications of a night nanny are us ually in mothercraft nursing (see: Nursing in Australia), maternity nanny, sleep guidance specialist, or early childhood development. Pay rates vary from countr y to country but are usually well paid in comparison to the general nanny, as th e night nanny or NCS is seen as a specialist or expert in their field. The Inter national Nanny Association (nanny.org) provides workshops and training for Newbo rn Care Specialists at its annual conferences. Demographic[edit source | editbeta] Typically, women from their 20s to 60's take up employment as nannies. Some are younger, though normally younger workers are nursemaids or au pairs rather than nannies in the traditional use of the term. A few positions are filled by men; the term manny is sometimes used for a male n anny, especially in the US and UK.[2][3] Associations[edit source | editbeta] There are a number of national and international professional associations repre senting nannies and nanny agencies. The International Nanny Association (INA) wa s founded in 1985. INA is a non-profit organization which provides an educationa l association for nannies with placement, employment, and professional support. The Alliance of Professional Nanny Agencies (APNA) was founded in 1993. It is a non-profit organization that promotes professionalism in the nanny placement ind ustry. In June 2012 the Australian Nanny Association (ANA) was formed in Austral ia with the aims of having professional nannies included in the regulated govern ment subsidised childcare scheme of the country. ANA also hopes to change some p ublic misconceptions about nannies, encourage professionalism and be a source of support to nannies and the families who employ them. Training and qualifications[edit source | editbeta] In the United Kingdom, no formal qualifications or training are required to beco me a nanny. However, the National Nursery Examination Board (NNEB) was founded i n 1945 as the awarding body in qualifications for childminders and nursery perso nnel. In 1994 the NNEB and the Council for Early Years Awards (CEYA) merged to f orm CACHE - The Council for Awards in Children's Care and Education, with their CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Child Care and Education providing the knowledge and un derstanding of child development and education needed to work as a Nanny. Norland College is a private college near Bath, which offers highly regarded tra ining as a nanny. It also operates its own employment agency for graduates, as w ell as a local nursery in Bath. Childminding[edit source | editbeta] Globe icon. The examples and perspective in this section deal primarily with the English-spe aking world and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. Please improve this article and discuss the issue on the talk page. (July 2012) In the United States and Canada a childminder is referred to as a Daycare Provid er, similar to a Nursery. In the United Kingdom, a childminder provides childcar e for a small number of children from different families in the childminder's ow n home. A nanny provides care for the children of a single family in the childre n's home. A childminder is the owner/operator of a small business, a nanny is an employee. [4] Although OFSTED define a childminder as someone who "provide[s] care for childre

n under eighteen years of age, for more than two hours each day, on domestic pre mises, for reward" there are a number of legal regulations that are applied to c hildminders which do not cover nannies.[5] All childminders in England are legally required to register with OFSTED on the Early Years register (if providing care for children under the age of five), and the Compulsory part of the General Childcare Register (if providing care for ch ildren aged between five and eight years old).[6] Childminders do not have to be registered if they are only providing care for children over the age of eight. Childminders registered with OFSTED are required to make a copy of their inspect ion report available on request. All inspection reports are available via the Of sted website (in the case of childminders, names and addresses are removed).[7] Childminders in Wales are required to register with the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW). The registrations requirements are nearly identical to those in England.[8] Childminders in Scotland are required to register with the Social Care and Socia l Work Improvement Scotland (SCSWIS)[9] In Northern Ireland, the Health & Social Services Trusts are the relevant author ity for the Inspection and Regulation of Childminders.[10] It is an offence to work as an unregistered childminder in the United Kingdom. Childminder registration in the United Kingdom[edit source | editbeta] England[edit source | editbeta] In order to register as a childminder in England, the applicant must: Attend a short training course, known as Introduction to Setting Up and Home Bas ed Childcare Business (often shortened to SHC) or Introduction to Childcare Prac tice (often shortened to ICP). This is one module of the NVQ level 3 diploma in working with Children and Young People, and is also be known by the module code CYPOP 5. Obtain a qualification in Child Safeguarding. (This is generally part of the SHC course) Undertake a Paediatric First Aid Certificate with a recognised trainer (such as St John's Ambulance or similar) Register with OFSTED Register with HMRC as self-employed Obtain Public Liability Insurance It is only once all of these criteria are met that a person is legally allowed t o care for other people's children in their own home. However, if someone is sti ll in the process of registering they are allowed to advertise their services, a s long as all of these criteria are met by the time they are actually providing the care. All childminders are required to have their registration certificate and public liability certificate on display during their working hours. Wales[edit source | editbeta] In Wales, a childminder must be registered with the Care and Social Services Ins pectorate Wales (CSSIW). The criteria for registration are much the same as thos e for registration in England.[11] Scotland[edit source | editbeta] Childminder in Scotland must be registered with Social Care and Social Work Impr ovement Services SCSWIS. The training requirements are different from those in E ngland and Wales, as are the numbers of children that can be cared for, and only the Welfare Requirements of the EYFS must be followed.[12] Northern Ireland[edit source | editbeta] The Health & Social Services Trusts are the relevant authority for the Inspectio n and Regulation of childminders in Northern Ireland.[13] As in Scotland, the tr aining requirements and number of children that can be cared for are different t o England and Wales. Adult:Child Ratio for a childminder[edit source | editbeta] The maximum number of children a single childminder in England and Wales can car e for at any one time is six children under the age of 8 (it is not compulsory t o register if care is only being provided for children over the age of eight). O f these six children:

Only one child may be under the age of One. Three children may be under the age of Five. (This number includes any children under the age of one) Six children may be under the age of Eight. (This number includes any children u nder the age of five, and under the age of one) In Scotland and Northern Ireland, the number is six children between the birth a nd the age of twelve. The number of children can be increased if a childminder w orks with an assistant who also has a Paediatric First Aid Certificate. It should be noted that these numbers are inclusive of any of the childminders o wn children. It is also possible for OFSTED to grant a childminder a variation to allow them to care for additional children in each age category, for example to allow one c hildminder to care for a set of twins under the age of one. Early Years Foundation Stage and Every Child Matters[edit source | editbeta] In the wake of the case of Victoria Climbie, the government in England and Wales introduced the Every Child Matters initiative, with a detailed framework that r equires the multiple agencies involved with children to work together. Frontline educational agencies, including childminders, are required to follow the framew ork. In Scotland, a similar piece of legislation is known as Getting it Right for Eve ry Child - GIRFEC. In 2008, the Early Years Foundation Stage was introduced for children in between birth and the age of five. This consists of a series of Welfare requirements an d a series of Learning and Development requirements. In England and Wales, child minders are required to follow the entirety of the EYFS, but in Scotland, only t he Welfare Requirements must be followed. The EYFS is a controversial piece of legislation and in 2011 was reviewed by Dam e Claire Tickell.[14] A series of amendments are due to be released in 2012. United Kingdom legislation related to childminders[edit source | editbeta] The following UK legislation covers registered childminders: The Children Act 1989. This replaced any previous legislation with a single nati onal statute covering all early years and childcare provision. RIDDOR(1995). This enables the government to monitor disease outbreaks and track s injury and dangerous occurrence rates for all workplaces. Disability Discrimination Act (1995). A law intended to prevent discrimination a gainst disabled people. UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. International legislation protecting r ights of children up to age 18. Data Protection Act (1998). Rules covering confidential data stored digitally. C hildminders storing confidential children's information on a computer must also register with the Information Commissioner's Office Care Standards Act (2000). Amendment of the Children's Act 1989, defined childmi nding, and created registration requirements for, and regulations governing chil dminders, and passed responsibility for inspection to OFSTED. Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001. Amended the 1995 act to cover education. Children Act (2004). National legal framework for Every Child Matters Outcomes. Daycare and Childminding Regulations (2005). Covers scheduling of inspections an d parents rights to notification and copies of report. Childcare Act 2006. Places the duty on the Local Authority to improve ECM outcom es for preschools and provide sufficient childcare and better information servic es for parents. Also simplifies Early Years inspection and integrates education and care under Ofsted Childcare Register and EYFS. Food Hygiene Act (2006). Ensures food safety in Food Businesses (including child care). Equality Act (2010). Legislative framework to ensure equal opportunity for all i ndividuals. Associations and representation[edit source | editbeta] There are three main childminding associations in the United Kingdom, the Nation al Childminding Association (NCMA), the Scottish Childminding Association (SCMA)

, and the Northern Ireland Childminding Association (NICMA). These associations provide training, advice and support to members, as well as representing the int erests of childminders at national levels. Many counties within the UK also have childminding associations, and also provid e support, advice and training to their members. There are no legal requirements for childminders to be members of any associatio ns. Training and qualifications[edit source | editbeta] In order to register in the United Kingdom, a childminder must undertake a basic qualification in childcare practise, as well as obtaining a certificate in chil d protection, and a paediatric first aid certificate. Once registered, there are no further qualification required, however there are a range of qualifications available within the field of Early Childhood Educatio n, up to and including Postgraduate level.
