Is having a nanny resume a good idea?  Whether you are part time babysitter or a full fledged nanny, having a resume that highlights your experience, skills and qualifications is always a good idea.  Someone who is looking to hire a nanny or sitter is most likely looking for someone who takes the job seriously and who has experience.  They are treating it seriously, you, as a candidate, should as well.  Things to keep in mind as you build your nanny resume:

  1. Ages of the kids in your care. Parents want to see that you have experience with the age group their children are.
  2. Any experience you had in-home and with organizations that care for kids. Parents want to see your gamut of experiences
  3. If you did something more than the general bedtime routine, explain it. This is your time to show how you are different.
  4. Don’t make anything up or exaggerate. Somehow, somewhere, you will be found out.
  5. Get registered with Nannies & Housekeepers USA and we will write your resume for you!

Standing out in a good way is always a good idea, and having an amazing and thorough nanny resume may be the difference between you getting the job or someone else.
