[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an MB, I suggest that all nannies to the sign-up process at care.com as a potential employer.  All you need is an email address and a zip code.  You do not even have to be from this country.  While there is a background check offered for nannies there is none for potential employers.  They do not even ask for a business license number or proof that you are an agency.

Please do not send any personal information attached to your ad response even if asked.  I would never ask for a resume prior to meeting and would be suspect of anyone who does (what mother would ever want her daughter to open herself up to internet strangers like that?!).

I found our amazing nanny on care.com.  I did a phone interview first and invited her for an in-home interview.  After about 30 minutes (where she was deciding on us as much as we were deciding on her) she handed us her resume and references.

I suppose a vague resume would be fine - with your name listed as "Mary S." with no address listed and general information like where you went to college (but not the year of your graduation) and a description of your previous positions with no names.

Please be careful, Nannies.

This.  While I would love a resume before meeting as an employer, I would never suggest it as a mother.  Do be careful, Ladies.  [/quote]

It is standard, when applying for a professional position, to supply your resume. Why, if nannies want to be seen as professionals, should they not adhere to these standards?

This entire thread is ridiculous but your two posts really take the cake.  Most nannies are adults, fully capable of making rational decisions and handling their own safety. Stop patronizing. [/quote]

Fankly this attitude is exactly why being a nanny is really not considered a professional career. Look at some of these bush league responses.[/quote]
