[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Btw- what you described as being your "nanny portfolio" is really just a resume with some references.[/quote]

I decided not to go into all the details of what's in it, simply because I worked hard making it and deciding what to put in it and I'm not just handing out a template to everyone. There is more to it than my resume and references, and it does in fact display my past work. Look down your nose if you like.

And to the nanny saying this isn't a career so you can't be a business person, this is not my career. I'm doing it to put myself through school, but my attitude is that if I'm going to do something I'm going to do a damn good job. I have put a lot into my presentation of myself as a nanny and at 21 with only 3 years of experience I've increased my salary and benefits at each subsequent position to the point that I make a respectable professional salary now, will graduate debt free, and will buy my first home next year. I truly believe that you get out of things what you put into them, and I really can't understand this pervasive attitude that nannies can't/don't need to be professional, can't take their job seriously, and should be satisfied with mediocrity both in themselves and in their compensation. You can be embarrassed about business cards, think a portfolio is silly, and denigrate career nannies all you like, but why discourage others who may want more and to be more?
