[quote=Anonymous]At 28 years old, I have 10 years nanny experience.  I’ve worked for one family since 2007.  I was 19-years-old and it was my first and only nanny job.  I was with the family for 10 years and through 3 children until the youngest started full-day kindergarten in the fall.

I have no other nanny positions under my belt because I dedicated the last decade to one family.  I feel like many families pass me by because I don’t have enough references.  I find this disappointing because I have twice the years of experience as other nannies in our community but not nearly as many references. I see nannies with 5 years experience who have worked for 4 families land jobs very easily.  I wonder if longevity and commitment means more to some families rather than # of references.  As a nanny, going through a family every year or so doesn’t translate to a better nanny.

I, of course, know many families just may not be the right match.  However I’ve had many families tell me I do not have enough references.  Feeling disappointed, I helped raise three children and was a committed employee.  Wish that paid off![/quote]
