Their friend's dad needed a "family assistant," and I quit the job I had before, and I've been a nanny for almost 6 months. Enough about me though. In order to be a nanny, you have to have excellent references, a lot of experience, and there are some certifications you have to get. It's not an easy job to get into. Depending on how much you intend on charging, it could be really difficult finding a job right away. Check with your school. Oftentimes there will be job postings [I know there were at my school] and a lot of people are looking for nanny/babysitters. You have to look around, ask around, and keep your eyes and ears open. Put yourself out there and you should be able to find something. Good luck! -Angel [ Anq3L_xO's advice column | Ask Anq3L_xO A Question ]
