Clason. Are you prepared for your opportunities? The US Nanny Association wants to see YOU succeed in securing the most desirable employment arrangements possible. Let's examine ways in which you can prepare to cultivate outstanding job offers!  \n1. Compose a cover letter and resume when your spirits are high.  \nYou do important work. Showcase it! Use a cover letter, resume, and/or portfolio to express your personality, work experience, and professionalism.  \nRather than wait until you have to do it, work on it when you are in a creative and positive mood. You will be much more likely to write compelling copy to promote yourself in this state of mind compared to when you are desperately searching for work.  \nDon't be intimidated by the process. You can read more about what to include on your resume in our digital library.  \n● Tip-There are free resume templates available to help you quickly create a visually appealing nanny resume.  \nJust be sure to have a trusted friend help you review it if you do not hire professional assist.  \n2. Keep your certifications up to date.  \nIf you've let your CPR or First Aid cards expire, now's the time to find a class to renew them.  \nWhat if your “unicorn family” came along tomorrow but you missed out on the opportunity simply because they require these basic certifications?!  \nIf you are currently employed, ask your employer to reimburse you for your renewal fees.  \nKeeping current on CPR and First Aid is a matter of safety and should be prioritized.  \n● Tip-Search American Red Cross, American Heart Association, or EventBrite to find local classes. Although online certification is offered, it is highly recommended for you to goto a physical location to obtain certification or recertification. Live instructors can evaluate the effectiveness of your CPR. Proper technique is essential to performing successful CPR. You must practice the skill and develop your muscle memory. It could bea matter of life or death.  \nIf you possess other certifications or degrees, house all this related paperwork together to share readily upon request.  \n3. Give yourself plenty of time to search.  \nSecuring desirable employment takes time. Randstad conducted a survey of 2,000 Americans and found that it takes job seekers 5 months to land employment! We surveyed nannies specifically, results from 200+ nannies revealed:  \nThese results are interesting in comparison to the national average. On one hand it could be viewed as a positive-nannies seem to find employment faster than the average American job seeker. On the other hand, there is concern that nannies may be searching frantically and taking the first gig they can get.  \nThe optimal situation is for you to take your time with your search in order to find the right fit and negotiate your desired salary/benefits.  \n● Tip-when your next contract is drawn up, be sure to negotiate 30-45 days written notice as a minimum should your employer need to let you go. This will enable you to get a jump start on your job search so you can avoid accepting a job offer out of desperation.  \n4. Initiate search.  \nYou are now prepared to start your search. There are a myriad of mediums to find families. We asked 200+ nannies where they found employment. Here is what was discovered:  \n● Tip-Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Use a couple different search methods to find your ideal fit.  \n5. Messaging matters.  \nWe collaborated with Via The Village to examine the strategy used by nannies who received the most messages on their platform. Compared to nannies that received fewer messages, these nannies reported that they:  \n- Personalize each message addressing the potential employer by name  \n- On average respond to messages in less than 24 hours  \nWhen we asked 200+ nannies how many messages they had to send during an online job search before securi","cbCaiudsS1JayJzR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiudsS1JayJzR","pdf",372160,10,"English","# Nanny Job Search Success Part 1: Setup\n## Compose a cover letter and resume when spirits are high\n## Keep your certifications up to date\n## Give yourself plenty of time to search\n## Initiate search\n## Messaging matters\n## Other solid strategies per successful nannies","[{\"question\":\"What should nannies do first to prepare for job searching?\",\"answer\":\"Compose a cover letter and resume when you are in a creative and positive mood, and use them to express personality, work experience, and professionalism.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is keeping CPR and First Aid certifications up to date important?\",\"answer\":\"Many families require these basic safety qualifications, so expired CPR/First Aid can cause missed opportunities; renewal should be prioritized and can be reimbursed by an employer if currently employed.\"},{\"question\":\"How can nannies improve results when messaging potential employers?\",\"answer\":\"Personalize each message using the employer’s name, respond in less than 24 hours on average, and clearly explain why you are the best candidate with relevant examples.\"}]","Nanny Job Search Success - Part 1 - Setup | PDF",1789284443]
