[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just so you know being a mom for 18 years I most certainly did not just "keep them alive". I put alot of time & individual love & attention into raising them into well adjusted, smart, healthy, goal oriented , drug & alcohol free, athletic children. I did not just feed & water them! I also do have young nieces & nephews who I spend time with.

Thank you to the people who offered me some better advice. :)[/quote]

I'm the one whose advice you're not taking - I didn't accuse YOU personally of just keeping them alive.  I'm just saying look at it from my perspective as a person hiring a childcare provider.  You telling me you raised your own kids into adulthood and that you have young nieces and nephews tells me nothing about what kind of childcare provider you will be to my child.  I know plenty of people who have adult kids and nieces and nephews who had no business even being parents, let alone someone I would leave my kids with.  I'm cautioning you not to expect people to be wowed that you have drug and alcohol free teenagers.  I'm suggesting that you don't simply rely on the fact that you are a parent and sit back and wait for the offers to come in.  Maybe you were a great parent and you will be a great childcare provider - show me that you will be by, like a PP said, making sure you're knowledgeable about up-to-date guidelines, being professional when we meet, etc.  That's what I'm saying.[/quote]

People  hire au pairs with less experience than the OP. [/quote]
