Who is a 'typical" nanny?

An Everyday Nanny

The typical nanny is family oriented, 19 to 21 years old, and someone who wants to experience life but in a semi-protected environment. Nannies must like children and have some experience in addition to taking care of her own family. A child care nanny must not smoke but they do need to be a licensed driver. Swimming ability or CPR is often an extra special bonus. They may do light housekeeping but keep in mind that they are there for the children, not as a housekeeper or maid.

" ,,, have some experience in addition to taking care of her own family" to quote you I don't think 19 - 21 years old? So what of the older persons are inexperienced or ...??? that statement needs some rethinking and rewriting
