Employers recruiting a nanny are often working in a short time frame, and the faster they can verify your information the better. Here are some tips:

Obtain written letters of recommendation from your references, both previous employers, as well as teachers, clergy, and long time adult acquaintances.

Go to your local DMV and obtain a copy of your driving record. If you are not licensed, this is the time to take care of that.

Have copies of your recent CPR and First Aid certifications. If your certification has expired, get into a class to update these skills.

Respond to families quickly. Be organized. Have your questions all lined up in advance. Use the interview forms on this website.
