Some of the mistakes we’ll cover are:

I personally interview dozens of nannies each week for placement with our Concierge Service families. A question I am often asked is:

In the below video, I will walk you through one of my favorite nanny resume templates and show you what I feel really makes a resume stand out. Plus, some additional tips about including hobbies, experience and a cover letter.
