[quote=Anonymous]As a nanny, I have a professional resume, cover letter that I edit for each application, lots of references, and a portfolio detailing my education, experience, and performance reviews. The vast majority of nannies are not professionals, do not have a resume, nor do they read enough English/have the reading comprehension to follow specific instructions. If you expect this (and of course you should!) you eliminate a lot of candidates. To attract the top candidates your ad needs to specify a rate (I completely ignore ads that don't include one, I don't appreciate taking the time to apply only to learn they intend to lowball me on the rate), and it needs to be competitive. Your ad should also be more than a list of demands and what YOU want, as there should be something that makes me want to apply, be it the pay, benefits, hours, etc. I am really turned off by ads with no mention of pay or benefits but have a list of expectations and instructions for me.
