[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I created a professional portfolio with my resume, rreference letters, certificates, a couple kid friendly recipes, and a sample lesson plans for a day along with pictures of activities I set up in the past. When I job search I always state that I have a professional portfolio. It's a common tip but few nannies have distinguished themselves by actually doing it. SOme people are shocked when I hand them my portfolio during the interview.[/quote]

Our nanny didn't have a portfolio per se, but in her application, she offered to send her resume, references, and cpr/first aid cards via email.  Her organization and professionalism--not to mention the numerous glowing references--got her the interview and eventually the job.  She turned out to be just as organized, professional, and talented as she appeared to be at first blush.  I am always shocked at how poorly most nannies--even some very good ones--present themselves during the initial application process.[/quote]
