I still wouldn't call it a Nanny though at 16. Summer mothers helper or babysitter I get but I just jump to the traditional model of the Nanny role where the liability is much greater and they assume every part of main caregiver and housekeeper roles. Maybe where I come from it is different but Nanny companies require a minimum age of 18 for insurance purposes in addition to formal qualification. It's not something where you would just stick an advert in the paper for a Nanny and anyone could respond.

Okay now it's officially a Nanny educational thread lol I'm certainly always interested to learn how things are done and regulated differently in different countries. Sorry for side tracking things
