Anonymous wrote:OP, my guess is that your nanny resume is either not comprehensive or not as professionally organized as you think.
Most nannies that I've interviewed over the years just don't present themselves well on paper. As an MB, I want to see a complete work history in chronological order. This enables me to look for a pattern of job jumping as well as gaps in employment that you can't explain in a way that I'm comfortable with. Gaps and job jumping sometimes--not always but sometimes--indicate jobs that ended badly, an unstable personal life, or a chronic physical or mental health problem that interferes with your ability to hold a demanding job. Also, especially if you are relatively new to fully time nanny work, seeing your non-nanny work history, educational background, collegiate activities, etc. helps me understand who you are, where you come from, and what special aptitudes you might have. All that helps me understand you as a person, which helps me quickly assess whether you will be a good fit for my family.
Don't be too quick to write this prospective employer off as a difficult person. She obviously has high standards and intends to screen candidates thoroughly, but most parents who pay on the higher end and expect to retain a nanny for the long haul are similarly picky. Seriously, would you leave their kids in the care of someone who is only willing to disclose a couple of references as opposed to her entire
work history? Even the most inept and unstable caregiver can come up with one or two friends to vouch for her.
How do you convey your stability?

No person in their right mind would allow you to hire them. Lol.

You would pass on a nanny because she misused a word? You're ridiculous.
