well. I would List how honest or loyal , reliable,you have been to others and be sure to list references. if you let them know of your honesty and give good refresnces, would List if you are good with multiple tasks or one at a time, however skills in those catagories, be sure to list if you have had any classes like for CPR or parenting classes, I know when I was preg with my kids, my Dr recommended me to go to parenting classes, and it helps, I would try and attend some knowing your expecting a child of your own too,
do you have brothers or sisters younger whom you have babysat or neice or nephew ?
those factors can be helpful and benificial.
I would list how you deal when under pressure, such like the child you may be watching is running a fever or falls off the couch and hits his head, how you would deal with it,
hope some of these suggestions help,
good luck
and congrads on baby on the way
im a mom of 2, age 12 and 9

if you have any first aid/CPR training would be a great thing to put on a resume. Length of experience you've had. Ages of children you have taken care of. Maybe some examples of things you can offer there children....crafts, outings, learning tools...etc...
If i was getting a babysitter for my daughter i would want to know basics about her as well...like where she's from why she wanted to start babysitting etc...that way i wouldn't feel like i was leaving my child with a total stranger.
I would also want to know what makes the "babysitter" what im looking for..what they have to offer my family.
Maybe include your ideas on disciplining...timeouts etc....
i think the more you can include the better. It will give potential employers comfort in knowing that there child will be safe with you.
Hope this helps

People skills, computer skills, team player, reliable, communication skills, hard working, quick learner with a strong desire to learn new things, professional appearance, don't say reading and writing skills you are filling out the application so that is expected, say something more like literacy skills. Good luck I hope you get the job!

Being a Mother of 3, who pays a nanny to care for my two youngest, I have seen a lot resumes.
You want them to know that you are professional, caring, energetic, creative and loving. Also, that you have had a criminal check. What is your philosophy on discipline?
Since you are wanting people to possibly drop their children off in your home, explain in detail what it is you offer.
Will you provide meals? What kind? Nutritious and fun?
Will you take the children to the park or others places of play?
What is your level of education?
Do you have your CPR?
Do you speak another language?
Do you smoke?
Do you have any pets?
How many children have you taken care of at one time?
What level of experience do you have?
Good luck with your new addition and I wish you luck job wise.

CPR/First Aid is definatley important, reliable, honest...try looking at some resume writing tips by doing an online search. I used some great tips to update my resume.

In addition to what everyone else has said, you might want to explain what kind of hours you can offer (days, evenings, weekends) and age levels (newborn, toddlers, pre-school, etc) and maximum number of children that you expect to provide care for. Parents returning to work after maternity leave will be looking for this information. Its not always easy to find reliable care for infants.
