[quote=Anonymous] I will give you the same advice I would give to anyone who wanted to get into this industry: it is all about references. No matter your background, the better and more references you have, the higher rate you can command. So start out by making a profile on sitter city.com or care.com or better yet both and get some babysitting jobs on the weekends. Once you have a few families have babysat for multiple times, ask them if they would serve as references for you and start looking for a part-time mother‘s helper or part-time nanny position.   Then use that position as a reference after at least 6 months or so for your first full-time nanny position.  Remember  that the most important thing is to have a good reference from these families, so go the extra mile with your babysitting families such as bringing stickers to entertain the kids with a craft project or being a little flexible with your end time if you can.  And do your best to find you first part-time or full time job that has a built in and date, such as someone who needs help just for the summer.   That way you can leave at the end and not worry that they will be mad at you and not want to give you a good reference. If you both went in knowing that you were only going to work there until a certain time such as when school starts in the fall, they should not be angry that you are leaving at that time. [/quote]
