[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nannying has not one thing in common with teaching. Please don't think this is giving you ANY useable experience.[/quote]

I could not possibly disagree more!  I was a teacher prior to becoming a nanny and a nanny while I was in college studying to be a teacher - both helped me and my charges ENORMOUSLY when I became a full time nanny.  And being a part-time nanny helped me enormously when I was studying and working as an elementary school teacher.

PS  Plus I can charge a boatload more as a nanny with teaching experience!!!  [/quote]

OP here. I have listed nanny/personal tutor on my resume and all professors that have looked at it have been very impressed.[/quote]

Oh honey, you have so much to learn about life.[/quote]

Really? So something like this:
•	Promote physical, mental, and social development by implementing indoor and outdoor games and academic activities during the day 
•	Discuss children's academic and social progress with parents regularly
•	Encourage interactive learning by incorporating educational software and the Internet, art activities, cooking activities, reading and field trips
•	Create and teach engaging academic lessons and activities, adapting them to each child for their age and needs
•	Select age-appropriate stories to read aloud during daily story time. Encourage children to read independently daily

Doesn't sound good to you as experience?[/quote]

I promise you, when someone reads the heading "Nanny" they will not read any of the fluff you wrote below it. Even thought it is TECHNICALLY planning and executing field trips for social-emotional development, its not at all the kind of experience a principal is looking for and it carries no weight.

You are wrong, Assistant Principal.  You are looking through resumes and one applicant has extensive nanny/tutor experience while the other applicants have sales experience at the Gap and steaming milk experience at Starbucks and you don't think the summer nanny/tutor stands out?  You are simply wrong.
