[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an MB, I can tell you that someone simply telling me that they kept their kids alive for 18 years wouldn't enough.  Particularly if I have younger kids, which would mean you haven't had relevant experience in over a decade.  You will definitely need some credentials, training, or at the very least references.

I strongly disagree with the first sentence here OP.

As a MB myself, I prefer candidates who have successfully raised their own children. When I say "successfully," I am implying that these children have not become delinquents. LOL. I think hands on parenting is much more preferable over someone who has simply got their child development stages from a textbook. A parent has actually experienced every stage of a child's development first hand and is more likely to know how to handle all the challenges that come along with caring for young children.

I agree that references are necessary as well however.
OP, you will have to probably babysit for a lower rate just to get started.
By doing so, you will build up your base in your area and establish your reputation as a stellar nanny!! Also, make sure your CPR certifications are up to date as well. I wouldn't worry about training..I would say you have had enough training raising your kids...what could they teach you in a classroom that you haven't already learned on your own??

I wish you the best of luck.[/quote]
