[quote=Anonymous]I am 40 yr old nanny who has 20 years experience. 
Firstly, I would start telling families and agencies YOUR rate. Tell them, don't let them dictate your worth. Some will like it, some won't but it will immediately place you where you need to be - access to the jobs that are in this pay bracket.

Second, look for life skills - musical instrument - skiing - swimming - tutoring english TESOL - riding a horse - Art. Something that sets you apart from other nannies. English is in high demand if you work overseas.

Third - tell the agencies & families that you are a 'career nanny' and seeking positions that can advance your career - when the agency or family offer you a regular job tell them that you have reached that level already and are looking for something more fulfulling - ask them if they have any VIP family jobs going and tell them you want to be put forward for those.

Fourth - Travel alot and tell the agencies you are experienced travelling with children.

Five - Take up martial arts - then promote yourself as 'ninja nanny' for the Hollywood Elite.[/quote]
