[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the cleaning ladies in our building became nannies. They were asked by the parents who saw them daily keeping the building clean.
If you go to a restaurant and see a server who often waits on you, ask her (or him). 
Give people from other industries a chance. I would've loved to be a nanny in 2009 when work was hard to come by.
 Somehow it never crossed my mind to try to become one. I had been in hospitality industry too long and I was stuck. Customers come first in hospitality industry and your child and you would also come first.  
In 2008- 2009 I was making ca $35 from 10:30 am to  2:30 pm working lunch shift in Georgetown and then went to Adams Morgan for my 2nd job- a 10-12 hours late night shift.
I had just had my own child, so it's not like I was completely clueless. I was also legal, drover my own car (EU license since I age 18), had infant experience. I would've loved to have worked day time so I could be home at night.  
I think I would've made a great nanny. I was used to long hours and physical work. My 2 boys turned out well.

+1. My great nanny worked in a different job for over 15 years before she wanted something less strenous in terms of lifting carrying and easier on her knees than her old job. She had raised kids herself but had no experience being a "nanny." She turned out to be really great.
