[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I request a resume. You are not a professional if you don't have one. I'm not doing business with someone thst clueless.[/quote]

You lose, PP.  I have a great resume and am a great nanny - however, I do not give out any personal information (including my last name) until I have met you in person and would consider accepting a position from you if offered.

Your attitude will lose you the great nannies.  You may want to reconsider.  [/quote]

I'm a nanny and I think you're being ridiculous. Most jobs in any industry require an application and/or a resume to even get a call for an interview. It is YOUR attitude that will lose you the great jobs. PP won't have a hard time finding a great nanny who isn't a princess about giving out her resume.[/quote]

Giving your resume to a complete stranger is much, much different than giving it to a hiring manager at a large, well known firm or corporation.
As a nanny, you are handing a complete stranger (who could very well be lying about who they are) a piece of paper with your contact information.
I have been a nanny for many, many years.  I have an excellent resume that I share in a portfolio, along with my certifications, background and DMV check and business card AT THE END of an in-person interview.  Nannies have to be really careful about who they give their information to.  Very few people interview inside a stranger's home.  If you are willing to fault someone for that, then you deserve to hire someone who will just hand their personal information to someone they've never laid eyes upon.  It makes you wonder what they'd do with your child.  If they don't value their own safety and security, they won't value that of your children either.[/quote]
