How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Johannesburg CBD; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

Put your ECD level and first aid certificate in the first lines of your CV; creches check these before anything else.
Apply for the Form 30 check early, as it can take weeks and many creches won't appoint without it.
