[quote=Anonymous]Now that I've done this a few times, I realize what it is I'm looking for:

1) Some indication that you chose this profession because you like being with kids
2) Some indication that you know it's a hard job and what it entails (I look for some kind of list of things you do with the kids or have done in prior jobs)
3) Some idea of what you're looking for, or what kind of families you've worked for before (full vs. part time, one baby vs. multiples, or multiple ages, etc.)
4) A generally sunny, positive attitude. I tend to dismiss the "purely professional" profile.
5) a picture or two that shows you looking happy, preferably with kids in it
6) we have cats, so anyone who says they love cats/pets in general goes to the top of the list. I do not expect the nanny to care for our cats at all, but they will want to sit with her sometimes, and the baby might get in the cat food, or sometime in the years (I hope) she's with us, she might stumble on some cat vomit or poop, and I would rather have someone around who will just take that in stride.[/quote]
