[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been a nanny for about five years now, and most of the families I have worked for have been on a single family basis. I am currently looking for a new position, and have been going on interviews for nanny-share positions. This seems to becoming a more popular child-care option, and I am open to this as an option, although I don't have much experience in a nanny-share setting. I have already had one nanny-share interview that went exceptionally well, and it seemed like I was going to get the position. At one point one of the parents contacted me after our interview telling me how great I was, and how they would love to work with me, even then asking to contact me later that night as they were making a decision that evening. Ultimately, I received an e-mail the following day saying that they had decided on another candidate.

In that experience, I truly feel that one of the families was ready to work with me, and the other maybe not so sold on having me for whatever reason. I'm trying to get advice from other parents as to what it is I can do/say that will set me apart from other candidates. I am on the younger side of the average "career nanny" (24), but I am educated, have great letters of recommendation from previous families, CPR/First Aid certified, and have a detailed resume with my experience working with children of all backgrounds. Of course I believe I am a great nanny, and I'm not saying I should be offered every job I interview for but I feel as though I need feedback as to what I could be doing better? I don't want to say something to parents just to make myself sound better, and to get a position. That's not who I am, but for new moms or even moms who have older children who have experience hiring a nanny with another family for a nanny-share, what was it about that nanny that made him/her different from other candidates?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated![/quote]
