[quote=Anonymous]I'm a full-time student with 5+ years of on and off experience in childcare in a private and afterschool program setting. My degree (75% completed) is in child and youth care with a specialization on early years. I have first aid, non-violent crisis intervention training, practicum experience in child protection, and years of experience in a recreational setting working with kids.

I don't want to sound like i'm tooting my own horn, but I'm wondering if what i'm advertising myself as comes across as "over qualified". I've had hourly wage nanny positions offering between $10-12/hr and my last professional positions in research and internships paid between $17-23. The reason I'm looking for summer nanny work is because i'm in an awkward limbo between professional and student. Most non-student jobs want a full degree whereas the summer internships are competitive and I need a backup plan that's related to my degree (i.e - childcare).

So, balancing my qualifications, experience and market rate, what should I reasonably expect for f/t summer nanny work?[/quote]
