The reason I want to be a nanny is because I love kids and I want to make a difference in their lives. Some kids never get the chance to have a big sister. When I was little, all my friends had big sisters, and I would always hear stories of how they got to go to a movie with their big sister, or they could go swimming because their big sister took them, or they had the best day hanging out with their big sister. I think that being a nanny is like gaining another family member, and I would be their big sister. The kids get a chance to have that experience with an older kid. They look up to you, and they watch everything you do. They want to be just like you. I think I would make an excellent choice because I've been a role model my whole life. A lot of moms always tell me, "You've got a lot of eyes on you, my daughter just thinks you are the coolest!". And I can't help but think, you know, one wrong choice and you lose it. You lose that power to inspire kids, you lose that privilege of being looked up to. So, a lot of my choices have been made with my little brothers and sisters and kids that I have babysat in mind. I don't want to let them down. That's why I want to become a nanny. I am from a family of 10, and I am the oldest girl. I've definitely had my share of childcare experience. I've been a babysitter for numerous families, and I've also been a lifeguard for 3 years and taught swimming lessons. I love little kids and have been told I should become a teacher. I actually helped teach at a preschool a couple of times when they've needed help.
