Thank you for your interest in working
with Lakeshore Nannies, Inc.
We are a Nanny and Child Care Referral Agency.
We hope being a Nanny will be a wonderful experience for you.
Candidates are referred to potential family employers based on job
requirements that match candidate’s experience, geography, salary
requirements, and personal preferences.
Our placement consultants will work with you to help make the
hiring process as smooth as possible. Frequently Asked Questions & Why do you need so much information? Lakeshore Nannies will review your profile in depth to try to match your background and requirements with the right family. Most of our clients have at least one parent in the corporate world. Our clients expect to work with agencies and nannies that are professional. The information you provide will be validated and used to create a professional resume or Nanny Profile. What is a Personal Comment? This is a brief introduction or "bio" on you. This will be used in the profile that Lakeshore Nannies presents to families. This your chance to tell us and a prospective family a little more about yourself. What is Discipline Philosophy? This is your way of handling a challenging situation with a child that is showing inappropriate behavior such as not listening to directions, not sharing, etc. What is Education Details? Please list any details on your education. Such as: CLC, Early Childhood Education. Why do I need to list my Employment Details online? Lakeshore Nannies receives numerous candidates online. The more information that you give us helps us match you with the right family. For example, if you make a note that you cared for infant twins, your profile might look very appealing to a new family having twins.
Why do you need to know if I want to bringing children? Are you planning on bringing children of your own to work with you? We have some families that would like their children receive more socialization and would love for the nanny to bring their child. There are other families that do not allow a nanny to bring her children to work. Please note that most families are not comfortable with this situation. Why do you need to know if I have pet allergies? Several of our clients have pets. Cat allergies seem to be the most common. We do not want to expose to unnecessarily to situations that would aggravate your allergies. Why do you want to know what languages I speak? All nannies must be able to speak English well. However, many families consider it a plus if a nanny speaks multiple languages. Why do you need to know if I have medical restrictions? We need to know if you have any limitations in caring for children. For example, if you cannot lift over 15 pounds, we cannot place you in a situation where the position requires you to lift a child over 15 pounds. That is not fair to you and is not safe for a small child to be in a situation where a caregiver cannot lift him or her. References: Lakeshore Nannies needs to have at least 3 references on file that have seen you with children. Please make sure that these are references that are available to speak with us. Note: Lakeshore Nannies cannot accept references that are related to you.
What is Infant, Toddler, Younger Child, and Older
Child Experience and Activities? Please list the number of years
experience you have with this age group under Experience. Please list
all age-appropriate activities that you would do with this age group under
activities. This information is used in your profile that is created
for families. It is usually better to include several activities that
you would do with each age group. Example:
Availability: Please list the hours that you are available to work for a family. If your availability is flexible, please just list flexible. |
