[quote=Anonymous]At this level, here is something that families look for: competence. This is not necessarily something that arrives with twenty years' of experience, but more of an attitude where you take the time to think things through, have a plan and not require micro-directions. That is, you have a plan for the day, for the week, and you have answers for any questions the family might have. This will take some homework on your part, but believe me, this is one thing you can do to inspire confidence. This is also true for all other jobs, not just nannying. For nannying, there's a delicate balance of knowing your stuff and being competent but not coming across as if you're telling the family what to do. Just be prepared, have a plan and sound like you're know what you're talking about. Also, make an effort to sound and look adult, well-spoken with good grammar and vocab. I think high-end families care about that and it makes you look more polished.[/quote]
