[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may want to look for positions with a SAHM or in a daycare environment. Some moms will take a chance on a 20 year old who only has limited PT babysitting experience for a non supervised full day  but most will not. You also need to not reference your childhood as experience its not. [/quote]
well experience start from somewhere,and you may not take me but someone will see-there is more to been a nanny than age. My past experience count. if i did not have it: i could say i had no experience.
Thank you :idea: [/quote]

Most families will not count taking care of your younger siblings or basic babysitting as real experience to hire you as a nanny. You can use this experience to get a PT mother's helper position where you end up being left alone with the kids at times, and then maybe move to a PT position where you are left alone with them. You will need to go through this before getting enough experience for someone to comfortably hire you as a FT nanny. Anyone that doesn't care about the experience and would hire you FT, I would have a hard time working for. Build up your experience first and then go from there.

I also agree with the other PP that you seem immature/young with how you are writing, and many families will look at that as a con for you. Even if you are not very educated, you want to SEEM educated in the very least. You will be helping their children grow and learn how to speak etc, they want someone that will be good for that. That is why many families do not want to hire a nanny with broken english. Being bilingual is great, and teaching the kids a new language is wonderful, but if the nanny cannot also speak English well, then it defeats the purpose. Having bad grammar is big turn off. Are you ESL? That might account for your grammar, and if so, I would take classes to work on that.[/quote]
