[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]okay. Sorry I offended you.

But I don't see a difference between saying the "autistic child" or "the child with autisim".

When we work in a clinic and are talking about patients to our co workers we often say the adhd patient or the delayed patient or the pain management patient. It's not about defining them or offending them. It's just how we identify them. I wouldn't walk around calling a charge "the adhd child" but that is what he is. He is adhd child with adhd and that is a huge impact in his life.

I'm sure it is a touchy subject for you and I'm sorry it upsets you. I just want you to understand I'm nit trying to offend you or "define" him by his disease.[/quote]

You are going to have a lot of issues connecting with clients if you use this type of sterile thought process when speaking about children. The more you respond, the more I believe nannying is not going to be a good fit for you. If I were you, I'd start looking at working at a birthing center or hospital. Those types of positions would be a better fit for your future career plans.[/quote]

You don't know anything about me. And I don't think you can tell much about be by how I post on a forum. I mean really.

And you can't just get a job at a birthing center or L&D. That is not an entry level position.

On the upside it looks like the family I interviewed with thinks I am cut out to be a nanny since they made me an offer. I declined because I don't think they are the right match for me but I have another interview lined up.

But this post isn't about if you think I am a good fit. It is about wether or not putting my Army experience on my resume will keep clients from contacting me. So if you have useful opinions on THAT subject, I would love to hear them.[/quote]
