Become a Genius Nanny

  • Support, purpose, and connection—while doing what you love

    Do you have a natural connection with children and a passion for creating calm, nurturing environments? Are you looking for meaningful, supported work caring for children in a home setting? At Genius Early Years, we’re looking for dedicated, heart-led nannies to join our team across Aotearoa. Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, we’ll support you to grow a rewarding career in early childhood education—in the home of a family who values what you bring.
  • Why Work as a Genius Nanny?

    Nannies play an incredibly special role in a child’s life. You are their trusted guide, their safe place, and their companion in discovery.

    As a Genius Nanny, you will:

    • Care for children in their own home, following familiar routines
    • Develop deep, trusting relationships with tamariki and their whānau
    • Provide individualised, play-based learning experiences tailored to each child
    • Be supported by our experienced team every step of the way

    We believe nannies deserve professional respect, continuous support, and the opportunity to thrive. That’s exactly what we offer.

  • What You Can Expect

    When you join Genius Early Years as a nanny, you’ll receive:

    • Regular support and visits from qualified early childhood professionals
    • Access to resources, mentoring, and training
    • Guidance to meet health and safety standards
    • Help to connect with families that are the right fit for you
    • A community of like-minded educators and nannies

    You’ll be part of a network that values your work, celebrates your strengths, and supports your growth.

  • What Makes a Great Genius Nanny?

    You don’t need to be a qualified teacher to become a nanny—but you do need:

    • A warm, caring nature
    • A strong sense of responsibility
    • A passion for supporting children’s learning and wellbeing
    • The ability to build positive relationships with parents and whānau

    If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

  • What’s Different About Nanny Work?

    Unlike home-based educators, nannies care for children in the family’s home. This means:

    • You support children in their own familiar space
    • You follow the family’s routines while offering enriching learning experiences
    • You work closely with parents as part of a caregiving team
    • You have the flexibility to work with one family or multiple, depending on your schedule

    You’ll play a key role in creating a calm, connected learning environment that supports each child’s growth—emotionally, socially, and developmentally.

  • A Partnership That Supports You

    At Genius Early Years, we don’t leave you to figure things out on your own. We provide:

    • Ongoing check-ins, mentoring, and guidance from our visiting teachers
    • Support with your documentation, planning, and learning stories
    • Opportunities to attend professional development
    • Help finding a family that aligns with your values and availability

    Whether you’re a career nanny or just beginning, we’ll help you succeed.
