[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here.  I read profiles thoroughly, ask pertinent questions related to what I read, and while my grammar may not be perfect, [b]I expect to be evaluated alongside other professionals[/b] when I submit an application.  In no way would I consider submitting something with chatspeak, text abbreviations or slang.  It's not appropriate, nor professional.[/quote]

Then you need to present as a professional, and not have imperfect grammar. Other applicants- professionals- won't.[/quote]

Umm. I think she is. You highlighted a line of her post. Did you read the rest of it? [/quote]

I meant that I don't always remember to proofread or put it through a grammar/spelling checker.  I may have 1-3 errors in an application, but I assume that's the maximum that most parents are willing to tolerate from a professional.  And yes, I do expect to be evaluated alongside other professionals, but I do know that many parents choose to hire someone else when they realize that professionals expect to be treated as professionals.[/quote]

So I am fairly lenient on this stuff when it comes to hiring nannies, but if you are informed/professional enough to consider a grammar/spell checker there is no excuse for you "not remembering" to do that.

I'm lenient with people for whom english may be a second language, but if it's just laziness that's contributing to your errors that is another matter entirely.[/quote]
