What are the existing Early Childhood professions in Luxembourg?

The Early Childhood sector offers a variety of positions for professionals looking to work with toddlers in childcare settings. Here are some of the main professions:

  • Manager: the manager is the main person responsible for the reception structure. He ensures financial management, staff coordination and ensures compliance with the educational, hygiene, safety and health standards of the establishment. It also makes it possible to create links between families and teams.
  • Early Childhood Educator (ECE): educators are responsible for setting up educational activities, developing the educational project and supervising the children. They work closely with parents and other members of the teaching team to ensure the child's optimal development.
  • Nursery assistant/educator assistant: educator assistants are responsible for assisting ECEs in the supervision and care of children. They play an essential role in the proper functioning of the nursery and the healthy development of little ones.
  • Childcare assistant: childcare assistants are specialized in the care of infants and very young children. They care for the physical and emotional well-being of babies and toddlers. They can also find their place in the pediatric departments of hospitals.
  • Nursery nurse: nurses manage medical equipment, administer care and medications to children when necessary and take care of medical emergencies. They also ensure health safety within the reception structure.

Other professions allow you to work with children, without working within a childcare structure: 

  • Carer: carers provide valuable support to vulnerable people. These can be children with disabilities, but also elderly people.
  • Parental assistant: the parental assistant has an approval which allows him to look after children in his home.
  • Live-in nanny/babysitter: the nanny looks after the children directly at the parents' home.

And for cross-border workers? If you are a national of the European Union, and you wish to work in Luxembourg, you should know that most diplomas are recognized in Luxembourg. For example, if you are French, you studied in France and have a State Nursing Diploma, a DEEJE or a DEAP, your diploma is automatically recognized. However, you must still contact the Ministry of National Education, Children and Youth to have it recognized.
