[quote=Anonymous]I am a 22-year old nanny, and have worked as a full-time nanny since I was 18 (not for the same family I currently work for).  While I don't consider it the kind of nanny position that I'd use as a reference or on my resume, I graduated from high school at 17 and immediately took on a full-time "live-in" position caring for a family member's infant.  Prior to that, I had a long-term (3+ years) after-school babysitting job and camp counselor experience.  So despite the fact that I'm only 22, I do, in fact, have quite a bit of experience caring for children, and while I don't know if I plan on being a career nanny, I am taking Early Childhood Education classes right now, have CPR/First Aid certifications, and have a clean driving record.  I consider my nanny experience very valuable to me, and I take my job very seriously.  I've never had any complaints about the care that I've provided--as a matter of fact, I have never had anything but highly positive references.

What I'm saying is, don't discount young nannies because you assume they lack inexperience or must at least be somewhat immature/unprofessional/etc, and don't assume that just because this isn't necessarily their long-term career goal, they can't be fantastic at it or fully committed to it in the meantime.  That's simply not always the case.[/quote]
