[quote=Anonymous]Some families consider parenting plenty of childcare experience while others do not.

Personally if someone raised a successful child to adulthood (no delinquents!), then that would speak volumes to me over someone who just learned everything from a textbook.

Also if you're just starting out, you will need to prove yourself, work for less-than-average pay and build up a good reputation in your community so that you will have some solid references.

Try opening up an account on either sittercity.com or care.com.
You can even place a free ad on Craigslist if you want to.

I cannot advise you on pay since I am not too clear on your location, but I strongly advise nothing less than $12/HR.

Some nannies are willing to do some "light" housekeeping if there is any down time.
Some will empty the dishwasher, do children's laundry and vacuum.
However this is not standard.

I only do the expected, typical duties like wash whatever dishes + bottles used during my shift.
I also will make sure all toys/books/puzzles, etc. are all put back.
If my charge spilled something or left crumbs all over, I would most definitely wipe the counters, clean the high hair & sweep the floors before the parents come home.

After a long day @work, any parent prefers a clean, organized home vs. trying to step over a million toys and chaos.

Hope this is helpful for you. :)[/quote]
