[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think her age is probably a major factor. People worry about the stamina, health, and "fun factor" of an older nanny. For better or worse, people also have a hard time hiring someone older than themselves that they will have to manage as an employee, or might have to let go at some point.

There is also the fact that you seem to be acting as a go-between for her, which suggests either that her language skills aren't great, or she's not able to use technology well.

How has she found jobs in the past?[/quote]

From 2000-2004, she was with a family of 3 girls. Was there when the younger two were born and helped them with Math, Writing and Reading.

From 2005- 2012 she took care of two boys, left when the oldest was 7 and the young one was 5. That was because they began school full time.

From 2012- 2016, she was with 3 different families and they had a contract of a year, so they can start putting their children into daycare.

I send her resume and references but they speak directly to her. In the past, she got jobs the same way I am doing it or the previous employer looks for. But it seems as though her past employer has been a bit lax on helping and its a bit frustrating, because the agreement for her and the employer was if there is no severance pay they would help her get a job by posting and contacting people.
