Be in Charge of Your Job Search!
When you begin to look for a 'right fit' nanny position, one factor should be foremost in your mind: Know Before You Go!
Having a roadmap is essential to ensure success. With your Nanny-Pro Professional Portfolio ready to showcase your work, you are then ready to take the right steps to be in charge of your job search.
Finding a Nanny Position is Not Always the Right Nanny Position
Anyone can post a notice online that they want to take care of children. Parents that need care may hire anyone just to secure care. This approach often ends in disaster. Nannies leave. Parents are frustrated. Children don't get good care.
Nannies as Early Care Educators have a responsibility to ensure children get the best care possible. That means doing due diligence in a job search.
With a professional portfolio in place, you are ready to find families looking for a nanny, how to screen and connect with those that meet your basic expectations, and how to go through an informed and thoughtful interview process to make the 'best fit' decision.
You, parents, and the children you care for deserve the best!
