Rewarding Careers - Being a Nanny

By : Jackie Reyno

Working as a nanny may be one of the most fulfilling jobs one can have. Taking care of children takes away barriers of work only attitude. As nannies, they normally get attached to the children after some time.

Since children could hardly communicate as adults do, nanny must have a good grasp of a number of ways in communicating with these kids and bringing them to what one wants rather than be lead by these kids. With this privilege comes the unspoken responsibility of guiding the children's character and behavior.

If one is interested, one may see the families, or tie up with an agency. If one is an American citizen, he/she must be not less than eighteen years of age. However, if the applicant is less than 18 yrs. Old, he/she may decide to work as a "helper", one that needs supervision from an adult.

Oftentimes, families like to hire applicants who can render service for one year minimum. This is important to the children's emotional development. Applicants who are not prepared may chose to still help in some other ways.

In advance, one has to reflect on one's attitude and ask the question: "Can I really take care of child?" One needs the following qualities to deal with any child: endurance, tolerance, attention to detail diligence, and dedication. Not only does one need the above qualities, one has to be ingenious and inspired in steering the child to grow, while getting to know character of the child.

Applicants for the position may choose to apply online by filling up forms and submitting together with their bio data to an agency with a good track record. Agencies are expected to verify on the information submitted.

Immediately after verification, the agencies forwards a shortlist of candidates for the families to choose from to interview and hire later on.
