[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here - I would hire a SAHM whose kids are grown.   I don't think you need an associates degree - but definitely do go take basic and infant CPR, and maybe a class or two offered by all the hospitals on handling infants.  I don't think there's anything you couldn't do - but you want to be able to assure parents that you're familiar with current guidelines on sleep positions, carseat (RF vs FF) recommendations, food allergy management, etc...

You also want to know what new/first time parents are hearing/being taught so you can seem in touch w/ what they're hearing from experts.

Other than that, just start networking in your neighborhood, etc...  You could also see about working in a local daycare for some period of time - that would give you some additional/formal work experience (and exposure to things like routine setting and discipline tactics) which would help make you more marketable.

Also, talk with a couple of agencies and get their advice.

Good luck.[/quote]

Good response. OP I old definitely hire you. Your experience is invaluable. Don't be put off.[/quote]
