Do you know the one thing many nannies forget to highlight on their CV… but parents love seeing?
And no, it’s not another qualification or certificate.
It’s something that shows creativity, initiative, and the ability to truly engage children every day.
Whether you’re applying to a high-profile family, a HNW household, or working parents, this detail can make a nanny resume stand out.
It’s your ability to create engaging, screen-free activities.
Parents aren’t just hiring someone to care for their children, they’re hiring someone who can create meaningful, enriching days.
If you regularly plan screen-free activities, don’t assume parents will just know. Tell them.
Instead of writing:
• “Organised daily activities.”
Be more specific:
Planned age-appropriate, screen-free educational activities.
Created sensory play, crafts, and STEM-based learning experiences.
Encouraged outdoor exploration, nature walks, and active play.
Fostered independent play and creativity through hands-on activities.
Supported early literacy with daily reading and storytelling.
Organised baking, music, imaginative play, and practical life activities.
Why does this matter?
Because many families actively look for nannies who can entertain, educate, and engage children without relying on tablets or TV. Seeing this on your CV immediately tells parents that you are proactive, creative, and confident in planning a child’s day.
Don’t wait for the interview to share what makes you stand out, highlight it upfront on your CV.
