[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks 23:13. I am not in the D.C. area, but reside in Houston, TX. I came upon here for advice as I don't know another similar forum in my area. Honestly, I am probably 100 lbs over my ideal weight for my body. I do think I am pretty active as I regularly go to parks, walks, etc with kids I babysit for and actively play with them. [b]Over here, illegal, non Spanish speaking nannies are very common. I feel like this is both a negative and positive as some families prefer a legal and fluent English speaker, but others want someone who will do full child care/cooking/cleaning for a less than desirable rate[/b], so open to illegal workers who don't have many opportunities for decent income. Of course I have no problem heating up food and light meal prep. I have mentioned to my as needed care families that I've left my position, but as most of them either have kids in daycare, or an active sah parent, a nanny isn't needed. Thanks for the advice.[/quote] NP. That's you're problem and there's nothing you can do about it. I personally would not hire an illegal, but a lot of people will to save some money. You don't have to be taking classes in childcare, but I do think you should continue on with your degree. I say this because you are still young, and having a BA will open up more doors for you. Considering you don't want to be in a nanny long term I think you need to focus more on your long-term goals. What is your AA in? [/quote]
