Be Your Own Agency Kit

Because navigating the nanny industry shouldn’t feel like something you have to figure out alone.

The Be Your Own Agency Kit was created to give nannies the information, tools and confidence to advocate for themselves throughout their careers. Whether you are searching for your first professional nanny position, preparing for interviews, negotiating benefits or just trying to better understand industry standards, this kit was designed to help you navigate the process with a little more clarity.

WHAT’S INSIDE

The BYOA Kit includes a comprehensive digital guide covering some of the most important parts of building and navigating a professional nanny career, including:

• An overview of common childcare roles and what sets them apart
• Interview preparation, tips and questions to ask prospective families
• Benefits and compensation considerations to help you understand what you can advocate for
• A work agreement checklist so you know what should be discussed before accepting a position
• Guidance for continuing to grow and advance in your nanny career
• Answers to frequently asked nanny industry questions
• Helpful resources for navigating employment and advocating for yourself
• Two professionally designed, editable nanny resume templates to help you put your experience into words and present yourself professionally

WHO IT’S FOR

The BYOA Kit is for nannies at every stage of their career. You don’t need to be actively job searching to use it.

It can help newer nannies understand professional industry standards, experienced nannies reevaluate what they want from their next position, and anyone in between feel more prepared to ask questions, advocate for themselves and make informed career decisions.

HOW TO USE YOUR KIT

After purchasing, you’ll receive access to your digital BYOA Kit. Start by downloading and saving the guide somewhere you can easily reference it whenever you need it.

You can read the guide from beginning to end or jump directly to the section that applies to where you are in your career. Use the interview section when preparing to meet a new family, reference the benefits and work agreement sections when considering an offer, revisit the career guidance as your goals change, and keep the kit on hand as an ongoing resource throughout your nanny career.

Your purchase also includes access to two editable resume templates. Follow the included links to open the templates in Canva, make your own copy, customize them with your experience and information, and download your finished resume when you’re ready to apply.

The goal isn’t to tell you what your nanny career should look like. It’s to make sure you have the information and tools to decide that for yourself.

Be your own advocate. Be Your Own Agency.
