[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't mean to be critical, but I see many ads like yours all the time. How can you be 23 and already have eight yrs of nanny experience? Did you start working as a professional nanny at fifteen?? [/quote]

+1000 OP, I'll be more blunt. One of the reasons that MBs hesitate to hire young nannies is because they lack judgement and experience. If you are trying to count your teenage and pre-teen years as experience in your ad, you just look like a fool. It backs up the notion that young nannies lack judgement and don't even know what they don't know.

If you add this to the inability to a drive in area that is generally lacking in public transportation to kid activity places and preschools, you are barely worth minimum wage. Yes, you need a job, Yes, you would like to make enough to pay for your iPhone. However, there are about a zillion more qualified nannies in front of you with actual experience and who can meet basic job requirements.

You are better off finding a job a in daycare center. Some centers will send you to training where you can work on getting a child development certificate. You can get more real experience with infants and move up to being an assist in a preschooler class. If the center is accredited, you will need to get a degree or at least an associate degree to be more than an assistant. The pay is not great but it will give you more solid experience and not require driving. The downside is that it more work as you can't run your own errands, talk to your friends and surf the web while working. [/quote]
