nannytochild care worker
A nanny already meets 74% of what the child care worker role asks for. The move turns on 2 required skills not yet in the profile.
74%
27.4/ 100
1 Share of the child care worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the nanny profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A child care worker role treats 8 of its required skills as things a nanny already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- assist children in developing personal skills
- attend to children's basic physical needs
- communicate with youth
- handle chemical cleaning agents
- maintain relations with children's parents
- play with children
What stands in the way is 2 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A child care worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a nanny background worth leading with.
- already held baby care health and welfare
- already held carry out wound care assisting and caring
- already held play with children assisting and caring
- already held assist children with homework assisting and caring
- already held prepare ready-made dishes assisting and caring
- already held prepare sandwiches assisting and caring
All 21 carried skills, including the 8 the child care worker role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 9 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held determine child welfare required
- optional, not held support traumatised children optional
- optional, not held relate empathetically optional
- required, not held social development required
- optional, not held babysitting optional
- optional, not held plan youth activities optional
- optional, not held tolerate stress optional
- optional, not held work in a multicultural environment in health care optional
- optional, not held pedagogy optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 2 entries a child care worker role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 determine child welfare skill · sector specific
- 02 social development knowledge · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
