She tired of corp. america, so she, based on a friend's idea, thought being a nanny would be good? For who?
Yea, right. No training toward that direction. No CPR/first aid/lifesaving courses. No mention of any contact or experience with children prior to "wanting to be a nanny".
She managed 20 office staff? I'm sure she didn't walk into that job without training or working her way up.
What a self-absorbed so-in-so.
Not once did she mention the child/children. Does she only want a one-on-one. Does she think toddlers, infants, or older would be something she'd be better suited for. Nothing.
I pitty the child who's parents haven't thought things through and hire her.
This "nanny" sounds like she need a nanny!
I think she sounds like a total nitwit. If she has corporate office experience she should know that the proper way to attempt to get a job does not include a list of demands and a description of your "skin art" instead of what your qualifications are. I feel bad for anyone that gets stuck with this idiot.
Wow, this ad was all me, me, what I want, what I need, me, me, me. No thanks! While I agree that boundries do need to be set especially for live in workers, that is something that should be dicussed during an interview not your ad/resume. Being a nanny requires you to be somewhat selfless and this woman seem completely self-absorbed. NEXT!
I don't really have a problem with what is written, I like clear expectation and boundaries. I have a problem with what is not written though: If somewhere in there, she'd have a paragraph about her childcare experience, what those educational philosophies she wants to follow are, what she likes best about kids, etc, I'd consider her.
I am always amazed that some people seem to think that working with children is easy and no experience is needed. This girl sounds like that type. She is bored and stressed out in a "real" job so she thinks, "hey, I will move to So. Fla and watch kids a few hours a day and then go clubbing." It just isn't that simple. Children are work, just as much work as any other job. I wouldn't hire her.
As a former nanny, The most important thing is that she would have experience with children. She only mentions that she would like a warmer climate, oceans, traveling etc.
Nowwhere did she mention experience with children or anything like that.
I think there is a client out there for her, a couple who shares a lot of her philosophies and interests and happens to be rich. But whether hiring this woman to look after their kids because she shares their ideas on life rather than because she is skilled at looking after children is a smart idea or not? I'm not sure. She probably shouldn't hold her breath waiting for a call in any case.
