writing your profile
Your 'personal statement' provides a snapshot to parents about you. It is important that it conveys the right message to help you find work!

Don't write your entire resume! Write a few sentences about your background experience that is relevant to childcare.
Cover the Who, What, When, Where and Why
Why: you want to provide childcare, why you enjoy working with children.
When: you have worked as a nanny/babysitter. e.g., since you were 16, or over the past 5 years.
Who: the children you have cared for. e.g., newborns, toddlers, primary-school age, special needs.
What: sort of work you are looking for ideally e.g., 1 full-time job, several part-time jobs, occasional babysitting.
FlexibilityMention whether you are flexible or not about days, hours, rates or duties - this may make a difference.
PersonalityFeel free to add a comment that shows your personality or special skills! This will differentiate you from others.
