[quote=Anonymous]I bring a "portfolio" with me that contains my resume and cover letter, letters of recommendation, performance reviews, training and certifications, an example log sheet of a typical day with a child their DCs age, and some printed off pages from the IRS handbook and agencies on the legalities of employing a nanny. I usually hand the binder over to the dad during the interview while I answer the mom's interview questions. I find that mothers want to get to know me better as a caregiver and how I would interact with her kid, while dads like to see concrete evidence of my training and experience, and they are usually impressed with the professional presentation. It may seem like overkill to some, but I am young and I have a bit of an accent, so I do what I can to show that I am a true professional and I'm not going to fall into any stereotypes they may have about people my age and with my background.
