I am applying for a job as a busboy. What do I put on my resume if the only job I've had is babysitting?

Question

It's a billungual cafe named Chez Cora. (And yes, I am billungual). The only job I've had before is babysitting. What should I put on my resume?

Answer 1

You don't need a resume. You don't have any experience to highlight yet. Just make sure you have a list of at least 3 personal references (Perhaps those that you did sitting for, not friends or family)

They will only require you to fill out their application, then they will talk to you to see if you would work out for them. Make sure they know you are bilingual when you talk to them.

Good Luck.

Remember - you have to start somewhere. That's a good place to start.

Answer 2

Put
Child Care Provider: Assumed the responsiblity for the well being of children aged ___ to ___.
Provided healthy and nurtitious meals
Supervised playtimes and planned outings
and whatever else you can think of that applies to the job that you actually did.
I would put the objective first
Followed by your education ... currently completing grade 11 at such and such a school
Insert here that you are billungual
List any awards or certificates you may have - first aid and cpr are huge but they may ask for proof so make sure you got it before you write it!
then put your job experience, always list the most important stuff first.
and then references available upon request.

Answer 3

Personal Services Contractor - Child Care

You could also type a "Satisfactory Services Statement" and ask your customers to sign it. You have provided comprehensive security and support for an entire family. This is the best of all accomplishments. Highlight it. Don't let it be taken for granted. There's plenty of help here if you need it. Good Luck.

Answer 4

I'm sure you have planned, served meals and provided service to the children that you have cared for. YOu may have provided assistance to the parents in preparing for dinner parties or planned/served meals or other entertaining they have done at home. Perhaps they have used your services for office parties / other special events ?

Have you volunteered in food service for charities / churches ?

Think about all your experiences . Most people overlook their skills / experiences.

Answer 5

Well, put on ur resume that u babysat, and make it sound as good as possible...if u babysat lots of kids (5,6+) at once, put that. Include any volunteering u have done. Add any accomplishments, such as awards, grades in school, extracurricular classes, etc. Think of anything that you have done that will add to your value as an employee. Basically, make yourself seem as good and valuable to them as is honestly possible. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 6

Put the babysitting. And be sure obviously to mention the languages you're fluent in.
