[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took my first nanny job at 19, with nothing more than babysitting experience and a willingness to learn from a patient mom. She was willing to give me a shot, paid me a much lower rate than I charge today, and it was a wonderful experience for us all. I came away 2 years later with some solid skills and experience, and a glowing reference. There is nothing wrong with hiring an inexperienced but promising person to be your nanny. It's a great way to make nanny care affordable if you're willing to put in the work to train and guide someone. [/quote]

Agreed. Everyone needs to start somewhere. I think the important thing is to manage expectations on both sides. A nanny who only has experience babysitting or with children in her family isn't going to earn as much as someone with years of experience as a nanny. And likewise an MB needs to recognize that someone with no experience and earning a lower rate isn't going to be able to do as much and may need more guidance.[/quote]
