[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My portfolio has resume & references stuff, plus examples of preschool curriculum stuff I've done at home. Most teachers have a portfolio for hiring that has a resume, reference letters, example of lesson plans and examples of the work their student did (such as if an art teacher, an example on mosaics the student did based on the lesson plan example).

I base my portfolio more on this to show a parent the benefit to hiring me. I work mostly work 1-4 years old. My goal is for when they start school to be a year a head.

Back to topic, I don't think business cards are cheesy, however I have seen some cheesy ones! I think if they are simple, and to the point, they are great! However, I do agree with those who feel it doesn't matter if you aren't making a connection. Biz card or not, a parent needs to want to connect with you to make that call to hire.

My real reason for box cards was so I would have to write my info double a million times for play dates or babysitting gigs. Also mine have the address to my online portfolio, resume and rates. [/quote]
Your portfolio is closer to the idea of what most people describe as a portfolio. I am in a creative field and when I am asked for a portfolio, it's commonly understood to mean samples of previous work.  Resume and cover letter are not typically a part of it.[/quote]
