I have a business degree and at some point in life would've love to be a nanny.
Sitting in the office is just not for me.
I just taught my 5-year old how to add numbers 0-100 and regroup. I loved it.
Taught my 11-year old how to write cursive in one day. Loved that also.
Nobody would ever hire me as a nanny because I have no recent experience. I was an Au Pair ages ago and a coop duty parent.
Get yourself a college educated nanny from another industry. Not sure if Care.com has a section, where people who don't have nanny experience, try to make a case for becoming one.




You would make a good nanny, PP. Take the long First Aid/CPR class and a couple of Early Education teaching classes (most available online). Start applying for weekend jobs and get some good references - then go for it!

It depends on your needs...
Ages?
Weekly schedule?

When OP never responds, it may be a troll.


I think OP is a troll. She's trying to make the point that certain nannies are special because they have a higher educational attainment and should never be asked to down something as mundane as fold kiddie laundry. All nannies teach their charges--only the level of educational qualifications differs (and some would argue that particularly for younger kids, having a diploma is fairly irrelevant in a non-school setting.)


Not a troll. Reading all the responses but not interested in giving details about my family nor do I want to argue our choice.

That's your opinion. Other nannies feel differently. And again, doing light housework for 2 hours to fill up hours while child is in preschool/elementary school does not make one a housekeeper.

Is there anything like Educated Nannies in DC?

What type of hours are you looking for? I am considering this but would not be willing to work until 6 so that limits my pool

We found our nanny through an agency (we aren’t in DC) called Educated Nannies. But a friend found her part-time, after school nanny on care.com. That nanny teaches at a preschool near my friend’s home.

put out an ad with the qualifications you seek and offer an appropriate salary.

I searched profiles on care.com. Even a top agency in our area didn’t have anyone matching our criteria. We found a great nanny, former teacher, but I had to read easily a thousand profiles to find three potential candidates.
