I can see why the Nanny comment got mistaken. Childcare in many contexts over the last 10 years for sure, but Nanny I'd think not. You are an adolescent and can not legally allowed to nanny till 18 so more accurately would be 6 years but then only occasionally I assume while doing a degree. Not to say you didn't go above and beyond during your teenage babysitting years offering great care regardless of title, but I get why someone would be confused at you being 24 and stating that you nannied for the last 10 years. My daughter is nearly 14 and has been babysitting since she was 12. She is not your average babysitter given that she had great role models from the triplet girls who used to babysit her and my son in addition to growing up with the home daycare. She takes a box with her on every job with planned activities and all the supplies (all my supplies lol) and she makes their lunch including cooking more and more often now as she is getting older. She also babysits my current and past daycare kids and regularly babysits siblings under 5. Only thing she doesn't do is bath the kids, the liability is way to big, but she does everything else. During the summer and on PA Days she regularly does an 8 hour day. That is a wealth of experience and definitely something to go into on her resume, but she can never claim to have any experience as a Nanny prior to age 18 or without actually being employed as one. I understand that Babysitter and Nanny are very different things and the stigma attached to "babysitter" as a title, but an awful lot of people would say a teenage babysitter just texts friends and watches tv. I have met more that don't than do. My daughter does a lot more than just sit on babies. She also does a lot of the same things a Nanny does too.
