How Not To Find A Job As A Summer Nanny

So you're young, energetic, and love kids, right? Great! Maybe you'd make a great summer nanny. There are a few options for getting the word out that you're looking for summer child care jobs, but the most efficient way is probably through an online nanny job placement agency. It's usually free to register your name and it puts you in contact with families who are serious about finding quality summer child care. However, before you start uploading photos of yourself that were taken during your twenty-first birthday celebrations, consider the following advice:

1) Like it or not, the world judges you first based on your appearance. Of course it isn't fair! But put yourself in the family's shoes. Would you want to hire a summer nanny who looks as if she drinks vodka and orange juice for breakfast?

2) Your friends might think your hotmail email address is cute and catchy, but will the family looking for reliable summer child care want to contact anyone with an email handle like “party_hardy” or “junk-in-my-trunk”? Let's just say weird email handles put employers off.

3) Do you really think a photo of yourself drinking alcohol in a hot tub with your friends is going to land you a great nanny job? Unless you want to baby sit Hugh Hefner, it's best to keep your photos tame and professional.

Be mindful about how you present yourself when applying for summer nanny jobs and you'll have no difficulty at all.
