Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Cape Town CBD really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: paediatric first aid card, ECD qualification certificate or proof of enrolment plus Form 30 clearance letter.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Cape Town CBD.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

Apply for the Form 30 check early, as it can take weeks and many creches won't appoint without it.
Add one sentence about an activity you ran that the children loved; it shows you can plan, not just supervise.
