Example - As a nurse and nanny, I have served children, patients and families in many capacities. I have held consistent employment at Vanderbilt Medical Center and have been chosen as a charge nurse for my leadership skills. I graduated from college with honors and a minor in child development. I always showcase the utmost dedication in my professional pursuits. At Southern Sitters, I have always accepted more than the minimum required jobs per month. I have brought a babysitting bag to each home with bubbles, books, toys, and other activities. Three of my nursing staff members have been hired on as Southern Sitters at my referral (Anna C. Aliya O., and Kara P.) I have included my extensive training in this document to showcase my commitment to furthering childcare education. I am excited to apply for this exciting opportunity!

I understand that preferred caregiver status can be revoked at any time with poor performance, client complaints, probation, or policy violation. I understand that past write ups, policy violations, negative clients reviews and former incidents will be considered against all applications.
*
I understand that even as a preferred caregiver, I must still quote clients thoughtfully and fairly. I will not over quote clients or abuse this status. I understand that rates vary per job and that I must continue to be aware of industry standard childcare rates per hour.
