1 Share of the nanny role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the legal guardian 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

Why this move works

A nanny role treats 8 of its required skills as things a legal guardian already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

assess the development of youth
assist children in developing personal skills
assist children with homework
attend to children's basic physical needs
handle children's problems
maintain relations with children's parents

What stands in the way is 8 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A nanny role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a legal guardian background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held attend to children's basic physical needs assisting and caring
already held handle children's problems assisting and caring
already held disability care health and welfare

All 10 carried skills, including the 8 the nanny role treats as required.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

Note

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.
