Chapter 16: Slug Club Christmas party (part 2)
Draco loved the castle at night, it was one of his favorite things ever. The light, the way that the air changed when everyone was already at their tower. He loved it immensely.
He was happy to share this with the weasel. It was like the boy had never lived a normal teenager life, the only reasons he had snuck out in the past was to defeat dark wizards. Now the redhead was beaming, walking next to Draco, checking if Filch was around.
“He is too busy with the party, weasel, and it’s on the other end of the castle. Chill.” Ron looked at him.
“I still think it would be easier with the cloak.”
They climbed up the last stairs to get to the astronomy tower, Blaise and Pansy were already there, bottle in hand.
“Thank Merlin, we were about to start without you. Did you bring the glasses?” Asked the girl. Draco showed her the glasses in his hands.
“Weasley was having trouble to leave his dorm. Apparently in the Gryffindor tower, people <cite> asks questions</cite>.” Draco answered making a face at his best friends.
“That sounds horrible.” Said Blaise as he chuckled.
Weasley seemed amused by the whole thing, they sat in front of them, forming a little circle on the floor.
“So since Weasley is new here...” Pansy started. “I was thinking about a good old ‘Never have I ever’.”
Draco smiled brightly as he nodded. He turned to the redhead.
“Do you know the rules, weasel?” Ron shook his head. “Well, it’s simple. Each of us gets a glass filled with firewhiskey, someone says something they never have done, and if you’ve done it: you drink.”
“Who wins?” Asked the poor innocent Gryffindor.
“No one. That’s the beauty of it. By the end of the game, either you are drunk and everyone knows your secrets or you are still sober and everyone knows your secrets.” Blaise responded. Weasley chuckled.
They started easy... Who walked naked around the house, who cheated on a test, who was scared of a professor. The Slytherins didn’t want to scare Weasley away if they asked the good questions too fast. Draco was at the middle of his glass when Pansy started to <cite> really play</cite>, which wasn’t a good thing because he was already feeling tipsy and that meant less mouth filter.
“Never have I ever...” And she looked at the blond boy directly in the eye. “Kissed someone.” Of course, Pansy had kissed someone so she drank too. Draco rolled his eyes.
“I didn’t kiss anyone, you know that.”
“We were just making sure, Dragon.” Stupid Blaise drank after saying that. Then he caught Weasley putting the glass on his lips with the corner of his eye. He turned to look at him with widened eyes, expecting an explanation.
“Lavender Brown.” He said as he made a face because of the firewhiskey was burning his throat. Draco just raised his arms over his head <cite> what the hell, Weasley</cite>.
“What about Granger??” He hissed. The redhead blushed and turned to look at the other Slytherins, shocked. The blond boy rolled his eyes. “They know, everyone <cite> knows</cite>, that’s why I don’t understand how this happened.” Weasley shrugged.
“It happened a few weeks ago, we were alone at the Common Room, I was still pissed about what Ginny said about Mione and Krum... and I thought ‘what the hell’” The redhead sighed. “I think Hermione heard about it because she’s been rather short with me lately, hence her going with stupid McLaggen to the bloody party.” He ended the sentence with a little groan.
“<cite> I hate Gryffindors</cite>. It’s like you guys need a fucking manual to get laid.” Pansy was drunk already. Draco knew that because, she tended to get meaner as the alcohol level in her body seemed to increased. The girl just kept talking. “You listen to me, Weasley. Do exactly as I say. When you go back to the tower tonight, you wait for her to come back; when you see her, you tell her she looks beautiful. Then, when she asks you if you had a good time with us you answer: yeah, but I would have been more fun with you, Mione.”
Ron had an amused smile on his face as he responded ‘Sure, Parkinson’. The redhead continued the game.
“Never have I ever had a fantasy of shagging my (boy) best mate.”
He blushed as red as ever. Fucking Weasel. In front of Blaise, of all people. Draco drank, looking away.
“Darling! Oh Salazar, this is precious.”
When he turned his head to see Blaise, the boy had an amused bright smile. He raised an eyebrow.
“Theo or me?” He asked. Draco blushed even harder.
“Both.” Weasley laughed, clapping his hands ‘way to go, ferret’. The blond boy punched him in the arm.
“In that case...” the Blaise said and drank too. Holy fuck. Pansy widened her eyes, grabbing her own hair as she spoke.
“I can’t stop watching. I’m going to die.” Blaise chuckled.
“ I thought you didn’t want to die without doing something with a boy, ferret.” Draco punched him in the arm again.
Blaise leaned near him. Draco could smell his expensive cologne, so different from Potter’s. He felt like he was about to die from being a gay mess. His hormones were screaming ‘JUST KISS HIM’ ,but the flowers in his lungs were hurting him ‘<cite> Not him, not him, not him</cite>’. But Weasley was right, this was his fucking chance. Draco grabbed Blaise by his neck and kissed him.
His lips were soft, warm. Blaise returned the kiss as he started to move his lips with Draco’s. It felt odd, the kiss was good but the daffodils were fully aware that this was not Potter. Suddenly, his thoughts were shut off because Blaise was grabbing the bottom of his sweater, pulling him even nearer. The kiss deepened.
“Not that I’m complaining because this is like my favorite fantasy come true...” Pansy started. “But maybe you want to continue that in the dorm.”
They broke away, Draco felt like his face was on fire. He turned to look at Weasley who had a smug smile on his face.
“I just made that happen. I’m like the fairy godmother of gays.” And the Slytherins couldn’t help but to burst into laughter.
By the end of the bottle the four of them were drunk and walking again to their common rooms. Weasley said good night and tripped himself as he entered the Gryffindor tower. When they returned to the dungeons, Pansy hugged them and asked them if she could go watch. Draco chuckled and sent her to the girls room.
Blaise was quiet as he hold his hand, and entered their room. Theodore was awake, his eyes went directly to were their hands were intertwined.
“Zabini, cast a silencing charm.” Theo said harshly as he closed his curtains abruptly.
Draco felt uncomfortable, it was his room too. He didn’t want to put the brunette in a bad mood because of this. He felt Blaise squeezed his hand.
“Ignore him, Dragon. Come on.” He said as he guided him towards his bed.
The blond boy felt so nervous, the flowers inside of him were moving, frantic. <cite> NOT HIM, NOT HIM, NOT HIM</cite>. He sat in the middle of the boy’s bed, as he waited for Blaise to shut the curtains and cast the muffliato around them.
Dark eyes were on his.
“Are you sure about this? We can do whatever you want.” His friend said with concern. Draco snorted.
“Why are you doing this, Blaise?” The boy offered him a smug smile.
“Because you are hot, Dragon.” The blond boy chuckled, as his friend sat next to him; he heard him sighed. “I know it’s not me. Pansy even asked me if it was a possibility... but I know it’s not. We are too much friends for it to be me. You don’t get nervous around me, you don’t usually blush... So I understand if you need to do this, before everything goes to hell. I heard loud and clear what Weasley said.”
Draco felt tears forming in his eyes. The daffodils kept moving, the only reason he hadn’t coughed was because they hadn’t touched again. He took a deep breath and laid on the bed.
“Did you felt anything when we kissed?” He asked in a low voice. Because kissing was great but Draco didn’t feel that <cite>want</cite>, that need to breath in the other person, that wish of a never ending moment... All the things he read on books, they weren’t there. Maybe it was because of the Hanahaki, maybe the daffodils broke something inside of him.
Blaise laid next to him, dark eyes looking at him, with such understanding... Draco felt like he could breathe again. The boy moved a straw of hair away from his face.
“No, Dragon... But there is nothing wrong with that. I still love you, and you still love me... even if it’s not in the way that it’s supposed to be.” Draco felt as the tears began to course down his cheeks. “I wasn’t lying when I drank that firewhiskey. It crossed my mind... How could it not have? Look at you.”
Draco laughed, the combination with the crying was somewhat comical; and murmured ‘Right back at you, darling’. Blaise chuckled.
He couldn’t be with Blaise like that. He could never be intimate with anyone if he didn’t feel <cite> that</cite> way, at least in a small amount. He just wished he would find someone before the symptoms got ugly. Draco looked at his friend and smiled brightly at him.
“I’m glad you were my first kiss, though. I love you, darling.”
Blaise returned the smile and gave him a kiss on his forehead.
“I love you too, Dragon.”

Chapter Two - Failing Expectations
Story: An Everlasting Connection Chapter Two: Failing Expectations Rating: T Word Count: 2,802 Disclaimer: This chapter is heavily based around events of the Goblet of Fire, but in Viktor's perspective. Also, as his first language is not English, it should be assumed that all thoughts and spoken words are in his native tongue unless specified otherwise. Summary: The story of Viktor Krum and Hermione Granger, from the first time they came into each others sights until the day one of them says the binding words of ‘I do’. Can they defeat the odds of their everlasting connection to find happiness elsewhere, or will they admit the fact that their lives are brighter with the other near?
~*~*~*~
"You must get the snitch straight away Krum. You understand? Do whatever it takes. Cause us penalties if you must. Just. Get. The. Snitch."
The very same words had been spoken to Viktor time and time again since he'd officially become part of the Bulgarian team earlier in the summer (after a year of being a reserve player due to age). As always, he nodded curtly, keeping his face stoic, void of all emotions. The teams manager barely waited to see Viktor's confirmation before turning away, going to speak with the other team members. Much as Viktor loved the sport he’d grown up with, joining the team had tainted it somewhat. At Durmstrang, though his level of skill was far above those around him, his team mates worked together much more fluidly. Here, he carried the entire team, and everyone in the world now knew it.
Turning back to his locker, he finished pulling his gear on, aware of the mutterings around him. The manager now informed everyone that scoring should not be their first priority. Keeping the Irish team from scoring came before all else. Attempting to zone them out, Viktor slipped into a trance, going over plays in his mind until he heard the coach call them to go on the pitch. With a deep breath, Viktor grasped his broom and fell into the back of the line. In front of him, the others whispered to each other, assuming he wouldn’t hear - or maybe they didn’t care. Yet, he heard them. Heard every bitter comment about how he must think so much of himself to not socialize with them. It was all more or less the same that he’d heard in the past few weeks as they drew closer to the end of the Cup. No one cared about the team that struggled to score when they had the youngest professional player who carried the team among them.
Giving himself a mental shake, Viktor focused on what they were doing as the doors opened and the most deafening roar cascaded over him. It was near enough to knock the breath out of him, but instead he gripped his broom tighter as the others mounted theirs and zoomed out. As the teams keeper mounted his own, Viktor followed suit, waiting a heart beat after the other had flown out to join him.
The roaring crowd was nothing compared to all of the blinking lights, the flying banners, and the way the pitch walls reflected himself all around him. While somewhat used to the bigger stadiums since starting the Cup this year, none of them had been anything like this. As he flew with his team, he looked around in mental awe, his heart hammering in his chest. It was real. He was here, the very place he’d dreamed of since being a child. Hearing shouts and cheers of his name only amplified the moment, and it wasn’t until everyone flying in front of him began to go into a formation to start the game that he could shake away the feeling.
Game time.
It turned out to be the greatest game of Viktor’s life. While he’d competed with some amazing teams over the past few weeks, none of them compared quite to the Ireland team. He’d zoned out the score keeping as they began, focusing only on what he absolutely had to. Where the other seeker was, where the bludgers were, and looking for the snitch. At the back of his mind, he did realize that the other team was scoring far too much, too fast. And so, he used a tactic he hated - he forced the other seeker to gain an injury in order to have extra time to search. Admittedly, he didn’t think his opponent would fall for such a stupid scheme, but it seemed he overestimated the other seeker.
As the game continued to wear on, Viktor grew internally more frantic, wondering why he couldn’t find the snitch. Keeping a close eye on the other seeker, all while desperately searching for the snitch, Viktor ignored the drama beneath them until-- WHAP! Groaning, he felt pain sear through his face that was unlike any other pain he’d felt before. His entire head began to ache, and he lost focus of what he was doing for a brief moment until the green robes he’d been watching suddenly went into a dive.
No time to think about the pain now.
Viktor lowered himself flat against his broom, diving after Lynch, putting all of his weight into it to force his broom to fly down quickly as possible. The beating of his heart and excitement surging through him numbed the pain, though he itched to wipe away the blood, he ignored it. Instead, he focused on the glimmering ball he could only just barely see past Lynch as he edged around the other player, slowly outstretching a hand.
This was it. They likely wouldn’t win, but they could be saved from being a total embarrassment. He could catch his very first World Cup Final snitch right now. The thought pushed him forward just enough to feel his fingers brush along the smooth surface. He was only just barely aware of how close to the ground they were coming and with one last push, he shoved Lynch’s hand out of the way and grabbed the snitch before swiftly pulling his broom upwards, pushing his weight back to help it ease back up into the air, a grin forming on his face as he heard the whistle blow and a slump from beneath him. Both sounds were soon forgotten as the crowd burst into a roar that put all others from tonight to shame. Ireland had won - but he had caught the snitch.
For that, he could be proud.
With the snitch still held proudly above his head, Viktor slowly started to feel the effects of having lost so much blood. Needing to grip his broom tighter, he slowly lowered himself to the ground, his brain feeling more light and nauseated than he could ever remember. All of the blinking, blinding lights came into sharp focus until the mediwitches surrounded him, all fussing with such strong accents he could barely understand them, particularly with the screaming from every corner of the pitch.
“Leave him, leave him! We must go!” Viktor heard the voice of the coach, speaking in rough English to those around Viktor. Having gotten used to the gentle touches of those who were trying their best to patch him up and access the damage, his coaches tight grip on his arm as he yanked Viktor away was rather unwelcome, but necessary. Viktor’s own hand remained clenched around the snitch, unable to quite believe this was all real. He’d caught the snitch in his first world cup finals. His mind ran through the list of names who had managed the same feat... a very tiny list.
Viktor allowed himself to be shoved up to the top box, his mind very much in a dream like state as his nose and head continued to throb. The pain was a secondary thought to him though. There was too much awe inside of him, that he’d managed to do what seemed to be impossible. He barely noticed the angered looks being thrown back at him from his team mates as they climbed. The noise from the crowd made it easy to block out their bitter words.
He had done what he was meant to - he caught the snitch as soon as possible. Had the game gone on, the gap between their scores would have been larger. Something he was sure the experts would agree on when reports went out the next day.
Being led into the top box, Viktor watched numbly as his team mates were introduced and shook the hands of the ministers, only then realizing he still held tightly to the snitch. While he hoped no one was watching, he switched the snitch to his other hand, his fingers aching dully now that they were freed. Then, his own name was called, and the crowd... it was almost as loud as it’d been when Ireland were crowned winners. Something Viktor was sure he would never grow used to as he numbly shook the hand of the over eager man with the too bright cap on, before shaking his own ministers hand.
As they were guided to the side, Viktor looked across the box to see who else was among them, hearing a familiar name whispered among his team mates. Harry Potter. He looked in that direction, vaguely curious, only to catch eyes with a girl. Not anyone he recognized in the slightest. Something about her however, caught his attention. The bushy hair, slightly bucked teeth, not a trace of makeup, and clothes certainly not in style. There was a light in her eyes, but not one he had grown used to. In fact, she didn’t seem very interested in him at all, as her eyes broke contact and followed the current action, where as the red head beside her continued to gape at Viktor. Clearing his throat, he clapped his hands politely for the winning team, pushing thoughts of the strange girl aside.
The media frenzy that followed was unlike anything Viktor had dealt with before. After answering seemingly the same five questions over and over until he’d gotten cotton mouth, his captain finally had mercy on him, informing them all that he needed to go celebrate his amazing catch with his team. Viktor fought to keep his face neutral at the comment. No doubt he wouldn’t see his teammates again until next season. None would want to look him in the eye now, unless to blacken it again (thanks to the healers who quickly patched him up before his interviews). No, instead the man lead him to the private tents with security surrounding them to keep fans out, and then to Viktor’s private tent.
“You did exactly as I intended today, I am proud,” his coach informed him as he entered the tent, not making eye contact with his teammates and their friends who’d begun to drink and party outside their tents. Viktor merely grunted as he began pulling his uniform off and tossing it aside. “It is unfortunate that we could not win, but I knew that to be the likely outcome. It would have been better had you caught the snitch earlier, but I cannot fault you too much on that.”
Viktor’s belt made a sharp snapping sound as he whipped it against the back of his chair, losing his patience. “If you expect me to apologize for not being able to catch the snitch in the first five minutes, you have come expecting the wrong thing. Perhaps had our other players been better prepared and not quite so hung over, I would have had time to catch it within winning chances.” It was not often that he lost his temper, but today had pushed his limits. It ought to have been the best day of his life, and instead, he was being criticized for recognizing his team would never pull their act together enough to win the cup.
His coach flinched, backing away, but still with a glare in his eye. “Careful how you speak to me Viktor. Players can always be replaced.”
“And what a fool you would look to replace the seeker who caught the golden snitch at the world cup. You may leave now. I have things to do.” Truth be told, Viktor wanted a moment alone before his headmaster found him. A chance to breathe and recollect himself after a chaotic day.
The older man grunted, still glaring. “Do not think this conversation is over, Krum. This team will never come together unless you become part of it. Brooding and believing yourself to be better does favors for no one.” With that he turned around, and Viktor gripped the back of the chair so tightly his knuckles turned white.
How ridiculous. He wanted nothing more than to be part of the team. To be taken off of this pedestal that everyone had forced him on. Being the youngest Quidditch player in the league to make it to the Cup had placed a target on his back. Certainly, he’d never had so many photos of himself taken in his entire life. It was an uncomfortable thing, but not one that anyone cared to listen to. Sighing deeply, he pulled the rest of his clothes off and headed into his restroom to bathe and redress.
By the time he’d settled into an arm chair with a bottle of rum to ease his nerves, the flap of his tent opened to reveal his headmaster.
“Viktor! How proud of you I am. You were unlike anything else out there today! It has made it all the more certain you will be chosen by the Goblet this year. Yes, this will be the year you become a legacy, my boy. A true legacy. Not a person in our world will forget your name.” The mans blackened teeth shone with happiness that merely made Viktors stomach churn.
With a shake of a head, he swirled the drink in his goblet. “That is, if it happens. Nothing has been finalized yet, has it?” Viktor reminded him. His headmaster had cornered him at a practice nearly a month ago to tell him the Triwizard Tournament was returning this next year. And at the time, Viktor had been enticed and excited by the idea to make a name for himself. After all of this however... a reluctance had built. The idea was becoming the Tournament winner was still very much enticing, but Viktor wasn’t certain he was cut out for all of the media attention that would come with such a thing. Part of him almost hoped it would be pushed back a year, making him no longer an option.
Karkaroff waved off his uncertainty. “Finalization's are simply formalization's, my boy. It’s happening. Pack for warmer weather this year, you’ll be spending winter here,” his grin somehow grew.
Viktor hummed before taking a drink. “The Potter boy, do we think he will apply?” he wondered lightly. He could not deny his interest in the boy. Who couldn’t be interested in the boy who lived -- the only one to ever survive the Dark Lord?
The headmaster scoffed before helping himself to some of Viktor’s alcohol. “No. Not that it would matter if he could. You would sweep the floor with him! Of that I am sure! But he is too young to compete, I believe. The ministry here is pushing no one under age. Better for you. Means no one can doubt that you had a leg up on anyone. Too many times past winners have been accused of only winning because their competitors were younger! No, we need a true hard win, Viktor.”
Viktor merely hummed in agreeance, not caring too much about the subject. If the Tournament did happen, he cared not who he faced. So long as he could prove he could accomplish the tasks, that was what mattered. Winning at all costs, being the first to the finish line. Everything else mattered little.
“Ah, my. Much as I would love to stay and chat, Viktor, I must be on my way,” Karkaroff sighed, looking at his watch and setting his goblet down. “Get some rest, why don’t you? You look as though you’ve not slept in days.”
Viktor nodded, watching his headmaster leave before putting a charm on his tent to lock anyone else from coming in, and then silencing it, desperately needing some peace and quiet. Knowing his family hadn’t come today, he could safely assume no one else would bother him for the night. And with the teams tents being so far from the public tents, no one would be able to sneak in and bother the players. For those reasons, and those reasons alone, Viktor was the only one able to sleep peacefully that night.
It wasn’t until the next morning that he learned of the horrific news. His team had already been port keyed away, and his captain made certain he was given the next one out back to Bulgaria. Rage consumed him the more he found out about what he’d missed in his peaceful slumber. And the more the anger built, the more passionate he grew about wanting the Tournament to happen. Wanting to ensure no one else from his school could participate. No, he would not let his classmates win with dark methods as most would surely use. He would prove that someone with a pure heart would beat out any possible darkness.
Darkness would not win. Not with him around.

Writing Characters With Different Styles of Intelligence
Aka Psych 105
There’s a different theory of styles of intelligence for nearly every founding researcher on intelligence. I had to learn 8 for a midterm ugh.
Depending on which theory you’re using, there can be as few a two types of intelligence, and as many as 16000. Seriously. For the purposes of this tutorial, I’m going to be using Howard Gardners 9 types of intelligence, because it’s the first one I ever heard of (all the way back in grade 7) and because it gives me a lot of room to work with without being overwhelming. Also because I like the number 9.
What I’m gonna do is name the intelligence, give you a summary of what it is, give you a rundown of what someone with high intelligence would be good at, and examples of a character with high and a character with low intelligence. (I’m gonna try to stick to Popular characters, so expect a lot of harry potter lmao)
Most people will be above average in 1-3 styles of intelligence inherently, but putting effort into something will improve your intelligence levels!
-Nature type intelligence
Natural intelligence is usually referred to as ‘having a green thumb’. Natural type intelligence refers to intelligence regarding plants, animals, rocks- it’s essentially ‘evolutionary’ intelligence. It’s a bit hard to explain-it involves the ability to figure out where animals would probably be, what plants you would find where and what they could be used for, how to act in the prescense of animal, and being able to tell the weather from the clouds. Someone with high natural intelligence would probably be an excellent hiker and gardener, and probably a great person to go camping with. A character with high natural intelligence would be Neville longbottom (and probably luna lovegood too) from Harry Potter and a character with low natural intelligence would be Draco malfoy. Seriously, what a cunt.
-Auditory intelligence
Auditory intelligence is sound- based intelligence. Auditory intelligence includes skills like discerning pitch and tone, and being able to tell flaws or mistakes in a song or persons voice. Someone with high auditory intelligence would learn best from lectures, be able to recall details from verbal conversations, and would probably be a great musician or singer. People with high auditory intelligence will also likely have high logical/ mathematical intelligence, or high interpersonal intelligence (tho not always both). A character with high auditory intelligence would be Beca from pitch perfect (she’d be an interpersonal correlated auditory learner!) while a character with low auditory intelligence would be Hagrid from harry potter
-Logical/ mathematical type intelligence
Logical type intelligence is probably be what people think of when they think of ‘intelligence’. Logical type intelligence deals with numbers and conclusive data- someone with high logical intelligence can look at a scrambled rubix cube and figure out an algorithm or movements that will get them to the completed cube. Logical intelligence works with symbolic thought (ie. imaginary numbers) and sequential thinking. Someone with high logical intelligence would be good as a mathematician, doctor, physicist, or other science based disciplines. An example of a Logical thinker is actually Ron Weasley from harry potter (remember his chess skills?) alongside Hermione granger, while a character with poor logical intelligence would be Lance mcclain from voltron
-Existential type intelligence
Existential type intelligence relates to the more philosophical parts of life- the meaning of life, of death, of right and wrong. A lot of protagonists should have this kind of intelligence- what does it mean to do ‘good’? To have a cause? Bonus points if your antagonists are both high existential types, but have very different ideologies. Harry potter and Voldemort both are strong existential types, while a poor existential type would be pidge gundersen from voltron
-Interpersonal type intelligence
This is people skills! Interpersonal intelligence involves reading a situation and responding correctly, being able to help people through a crisis, negotiating, and delivering a convincing speech. A lot of typical fan faves have really high interpersonal intelligence- Naruto Uzumaki is like, the Most. Rival pairings usually include someone with high interpersonal intelligence and someone with low, like lance mcclain and keith kogane
-Kinesthetic type intelligence
Bodily intelligence! This is the ability not only to be physically strong or fast, but also to be precise. A painter who can’t do a single pushup is still going to have high kinesthetic type intelligence due to the precision of their work, though in a different way. This kind of intelligence is primarily achieved through practice, practice, practice, though some people might be naturally more flexible or genetically predispositioned to bulk up muscle faster. Bella Swan goes from a character with really low kinesthetic intelligence to a character with high kinesthetic intelligence post being vampirified
-Linguistic type intelligence
This is you guys! Linguistic intelligence is language based intelligence, both the learning of and using of languages. High linguistic intelligence is correlated with clear speech, well done essays, and creative works. Someone with low linguistic intelligence would really struggle with the humanities in school, and would have trouble with an essay. Linguistic intelligence tends to be moderately correlated with interpersonal intelligence. A character with high linguistic intelligence would be Takeshi Shirogane (shiro) from voltron- leader types usually are (inspiration speeches anyone?), while a character with low linguistic intelligence would be Neville longbottom
-Intrapersonal type intelligence
This is knowing your ‘self’. It’s a little hard to explain, but it works with your emotions and reactions and personal limits. This tends to come up less in fiction- the one character I can pull from the top of my head that has plainly high intrapersonal intelligence is Maximum Ride (totally recommend that book series btw.). Intrapersonal intelligence tends to be really emphasized in religious scriptures- be aware of your faults and work past them to be kind. A character with low intrapersonal intelligence would probably be lance mcclain- he has an extremely negative view of himself despite his strong interpersonal skills.
-Spatial type intelligence
This is also called visual type intelligence! Spatial type intelligence is the ability to visualize things in a 3 dimensional plane, remember approximate distances, and being able to recreate scenes from memory. People with high spatial intelligence tend to learn by seeing images or watching clips, an tend to be excellent painters and sculptors. Spatial intelligence also has to do with a sense of direction- navigators needs to have high spatial intelligence. A character with high spatial intelligence would be harry potter- quidditch players all probably have great spatial skills, while a character with low spatial skills would be allen walker from d grey man
hope this is helpful! This is the article i used as my guide

Pro Tip: Check the job offer to make sure PDFs aren't banned. Some applicant tracking systems don't play well with them.

How to Write a Resume Summary or Resume Objective
Meet Karen and Steve. They're searching nannies for hire.
The culprit is the cooing, smiling baby banging on the laptop.
They're fantastic to work for.
They're also reading dozens of nanny resumes.
How can you make them spend more time with yours?
Answer: With a resume summary or a resume objective.
A resume summary proves you're perfect for the nanny job with oodles of experience.
A resume objective does the same by showing passion, even if you lack experience.
See the nanny bio examples below.
Full Time Nanny Resume Examples: Summary Statements
Check out these two very different nanny resume examples (for a private nanny):
right
Compassionate, nonsmoker nanny with 3+ years experience. Seeking to enhance daily care for Jimenez family. Served as live-in nanny for over two years. Ensured physical activity 355 days/yr. Enhanced math scores by 35% through tutoring. Transported children daily with 100% clean driving record. Certified Child Development Associate (CDA).
wrong
Engaged, efficient, experienced nanny looking for work. Have handled all nanny responsibilities, including daily care, cooking, laundry, etc.
See that first one? Totally Mrs. Doubtfire. Chock full of measurable proof.
Our resume builder will give you tips and examples on how to write your resume summary. You can easily copy them straight into your resume - it will save you a ton of time.
Inside our resume builder you will find tips and examples for your resume.
Don't have that kind of experience? Write a nanny resume objective statement.
How to Write an Objective for a Nanny Resume with No Experience
If you're a newbie nanny, you can show your passion with an objective statement.
Traditionally, those just state your goal. They don't show experience.
But here's a tip worth gold:
Everyone has nanny experience. And anyone can get more, fast.
Look at these example nanny resume bios.
right
Compassionate, hardworking nanny with an abundance of patience. Have provided nanny care for six different clients. Received four written commendations from parents for efficiency and good-naturedness. Nonsmoker. Certified in CPR and First Aid.
wrong
Hardworking, efficient nanny applicant. No direct experience yet but I'm very eager to become a
nanny.
Big difference, right? That first nanny resume example could probably get you hired by the Huxtables.
The trick is, the "experience" came from volunteer work and part-time babysitting. It took about a month while earning income.
Pro Tip: Don't let your nanny resume summary or objective give you writer's block. Write it last, so you've got plenty of material.

How to Write a Nanny Experience Description for a Resume
Let's say you're trying to get hired by The Incredibles.
Your nanny resume will need to show experience finding invisible girls. It wouldn't hurt to add a history of keeping up with bullet-fast boys.
But if you're applying to Hermione Granger's parents, you'll need to show resistance to magic spells. Plus, prove your knack for engaging with extremely brainy children.
See what's going on here?
A resume that isn't custom-tailored to the job will get passed by like a public pool in February.
So:
List your last job first. Under it, add 4-6 bullet points that show accomplishments. But tie them to the job description for your nanny resume.
Examples of Experience for Nanny Resumes
right
Full Time Nanny
Peter & Kate McCallister

Peter & Kate McCallister
2015 - 2017
Served as live-in, full-time nanny for two years.
Helped with daily care.
Enforced regular exercise.
Coordinated daily activities.
Drove children to and from school.
Yikes. That bottom one might get hired by Peter and Lois Griffin.
But all it needs to get it dancing is a few measurable achievements.
Now, what if you don't have experience? That's where it really gets exciting.
How to Write a Nanny Resume with no Experience
Think you can't get nanny jobs without experience?
Think again.
First, you already have experience. You just don't know it yet.
Troll your past non-nanny jobs for any nanny resume experience.
Have you cooked meals for others? Done budgeting? Made schedules? Taught? Communicated? Those are all personal nanny resume responsibilities!
Second, you can get experience to build a great babysitter nanny resume fast.
How?
By doing short-term nanny-style jobs, including:
Babysitting.
Volunteer work for youth organizations like the YMCA, or preschools.
Working for family, friends, neighbors.
Camp counseling.
Also, check online forums where people ask things like, "How much do nannies cost?" or "What's the best way to find a nanny?" Those people are on the hunt for you.
Then, see the bad/good nanny resume examples below:
No Experience: Two Nanny Resume Samples
right
Freelance Nanny
2016 - 2017
Provided short-term nanny services for six different clients.
Received four written commendations from parents for efficiency and patience.

Other Experience:
Waitressing
Babysitting
Angelina Jolie would hire from that first creative nanny resume sample.
But here's the trick: The same person wrote both resumes.
Pro Tip: Never use a childcare resume for a nanny position. Comparing nanny resumes to child care resume examples shows important differences.

Is Your Education Section Napping? It Might Be
You're a nanny. You don't need a college education. Right?
Wrong.
It's true that education isn't crucial in a nanny resume.
But not flaunting it is like having an UPPAbaby stroller, then only using it to carry laundry.
It can do so much more.
Start with the basics:
School Name and Location.
Years in School.
Degree.
But here's the magic:
Use nanny resume bullet points to prove you fit the job.
Education: Two Nanny Resume Examples
wrong
Bates College, ME
2009 - 2013
Received a BA in History.
GPA 3.5
That's pretty bland, right? It's cream of wheat when we need blueberry waffles with real maple syrup.
Mmmm. Waffles.
But see what happens when we do it right, like in this live-in nanny resume sample:
right
BA, Bates College, ME
2009 - 2013
Pursued a passion for childhood education coursework.
Excelled in special needs education classes.
Participated in student Head Start volunteer program for local children.
Wrote a monthly column in the student paper about disadvantaged children.
Wow. Suddenly you're Maria from The Sound of Music.
But anyone can do that in a resume for a nanny. It just takes a little work remembering old accomplishments that fit the job.
Ready for more creative nanny resume ideas? Let's dive into skills.
Pro Tip: Your employer will do a background check on you. Return the favor! Check references, and trust your instincts. You can even have a friend go with you to the interview.

How to Put Skills on a Resume for a Nanny
Let's check back with our awesome parents, Steve and Karen.
They're in a room with big, sunny windows. They're munching homemade coffee cake and poring through 300+ nanny resumes.
They're looking for the right nanny skills and qualities.
Only a few resumes will have them.
Be one of those few.
First, read the nanny resume job description. Highlight all the skills you see.
Second, list them on your nanny resume. Add extras so you're not just pandering.
Third, prove the skills by showing them in your experience and education bullet points.
Skills: Newborn Nanny Resume Sample
Let's say you're applying for an infant nanny resume position. It values newborn care, attention to detail, and prepping baby formula.
You'll put those in your skills list, plus changing diapers and doing laundry.
Then you'll prove them in your nanny resume bullet points, like this:
Performed duties of a nanny for four different clients, all with newborn or infant children. Changed 5+ diapers per day, fed 5-6 bottles per day.
Did laundry, including 2 loads cloth diapers per day.
Prepared baby formula for one client 5+ times per day.
Spotted RSV symptoms in one child. Doctor said I may have saved her life.
Noticed an expired car seat and got it replaced. Commended by parents.
They're all there. Those last two infant nanny resume bullet points show attention to detail.
With a formula like that, the Bradys will hire you if Alice ever quits.
List of Skills to Put on a Nanny Resume
Let's get the ball rolling (and bouncing) with the nanny resume skills list below.
Find more skills online, and search your work history for others.
Nanny Resume Skills
Soft Skills Hard Skills More Nanny Skills Communication Pediatric First Aid Physical Stamina Problem Solving CPR Newborn Care Love of Children Cooking Toddler Care Nonsmoker Planning Meals for Children Young Adult Care Reliability Laundry Dressing Children Listening Cooking Transporting Children Teamwork Clean Driving Record Helping with Homework Interpersonal Teaching Scheduling Activities Patience Preparing Baby Formula Spanish Decision Making Changing Diapers MS Office
If you do this, your professional nanny resume will be more popular than Goodnight, Moon.
Read the job description carefully. Live-in nanny jobs need different skills from child caregiver resumes.
Pro Tip: Is nonsmoking a skill? 89% of parents say they won't hire smokers. Yet most won't list it on a nanny resume. If you do, you're way ahead.

How to Add Other Sections for an Effective Resume
Remember our fantastic parents, Karen and Steve?
They've narrowed down "the pile" to 30 nanny resumes.
All show similar skills, experience, and education.
Make it easy for them. Add some Supernanny "other sections" that show you're more than just a sheet of paper.

Here's the Most Common Myth About Cover Letters
Nobody reads cover letters anymore. Right?
Correction. Nobody reads boring nanny resume cover letters.
You know, the ones that go, "Hi, I'm Sue, I'm great, I'm looking for a job, here is my nanny resume."
That letter might as well get eaten by the very hungry caterpillar.
Here's how to do it right:
First, make it personal. Call the parents by name.
Second, make it passionate. Share your excitement about the job. If you can learn a detail you like about the parents or referral agency, use it.
Third, make it tantalizing. Add 1-2 accomplishments to whet the appetite.
Fourth, use a call to action. That's as simple as, "I'd love to talk with you about your needs."
Last, follow up. A thank you note a few days after you submit your nanny resume can put you top-of-mind.
Pro Tip: Don't put references on a resume for a nanny. If you've got some shining ones, mention them in your bullet points.
Plus, a great cover letter that match your resume will give you an advantage over other candidates. You can write your cover letter in our resume builder here. Here's what it may look like:
See more templates and create your resume and cover letter here.
Want to see how this all works in action? Need a sample for your nanny cover letter? See our guide: "How To Write A Cover Letter [Complete Guide With Examples]"

How to Add Contact Info to Your Resume
Here's a bad dream:
You shared your contact info. But you didn't do it right.
Now your nanny resume is in the rejects pile.
What did you do wrong?
Of course you added:
Full Name
Updated Phone Number
Professional Email Address
Like this:
Luca Collins, [email protected] - 617-756-1644
We say "professional" because nobody wants [email protected] watching little Dennis.
But here's the real nightmare:
The McCallisters have got it narrowed down to five live-in nanny resumes, including yours.
But someone added a LinkedIn profile and Twitter handle. The parents check those out. They love what they see.
The other nanny is hired.
So, include your LinkedIn profile, Twitter address, and relevant social media hangouts. That way employers can dig deeper than your nanny housekeeper resume.
Pro Tip: Tidy up your online presence. That tipsy pic of you in Cancun four years ago? That's not doing anybody any favors. See this guide for help.

How to Put Nanny on a Resume
Picture this:
You're making the switch to a "real job."
So, you're not writing a nanny resume.
But you don't get hired, because they think you were a "babysitter."
You need to know how to make nanny sound good on a resume.
So, here's how to include nanny experience on a resume for non-nanny jobs.
First, look at the job description. Write down all the duties, skills, and responsibilities you see.
Then, do a little head-scratching. When did you do those in nanny world?
Finally, in the nanny job description, add resume bullet points that prove your chops.
Governess (another name for nanny on a resume)
Performed daily scheduling of all activities. Included two physical and two intellectual activities per day.
Planned and cooked meals, conducting avid nutritional research.
Maintained clean driving record while navigating busy city streets daily with young children.
Maintained constant communication and collaboration with two demanding parents. Received frequent commendations for efficiency and thoroughness.
That's how to list nanny on a resume.
Pro Tip: Don't call yourself an "Au Pair" if you're not. It's not another word for nanny on a resume. "Governess" is a fancy word for nanny, if you must.
Knowing how to add nanny experience to a resume comes down to fitting with the job description. For pointers, see our guide: "6 Tips on How to Tailor Your Resume to a Job Description (Examples)"
Key Takeaway
Even when you've got perfect nanny resume templates to work from, writing your own is still a challenge.
Start by looking at the job description. Highlight all the nanny resume duties and responsibilities.
Prove your cred in nanny resume bullet points. Show measurable accomplishments.
Add other sections to show your human side. In a resume for a nanny, that means interests, hobbies, and other extras. You need to prove you fit the job like Spiderman underoos.

What's the Best Format for a Nanny Resume?
I don't know how to tell you this.
Those once-in-a-lifetime parents just hit "delete."
Your perfect nanny resume is gone forever.
Why?
Because you didn't use a professional nanny resume format.
Parents want to know you'll pay attention to detail.
Without it, you couldn't get a job nannying for the Bluths.
Use a trusted layout like the reverse-chronological resume format.
Make good use of whitespace, eye-friendly headings, and clear, legible fonts.
Last, save your great nanny resume as a PDF. MS Word resumes can scramble during emailing.
Now, let's get on with how to make a resume for a nanny job.
Pro Tip: Check the job offer to make sure PDFs aren't banned. Some applicant tracking systems don't play well with them.

Here's a bad dream:
You shared your contact info. But you didn't do it right.
Now your nanny resume is in the rejects pile.
What did you do wrong?
Of course you added:
Full Name
Updated Phone Number
Professional Email Address
Like this:
Luca Collins, [email protected] - 617-756-1644
We say "professional" because nobody wants [email protected] watching little Dennis.
But here's the real nightmare:
The McCallisters have got it narrowed down to five live-in nanny resumes, including yours.
But someone added a LinkedIn profile and Twitter handle. The parents check those out. They love what they see.
The other nanny is hired.
So, include your LinkedIn profile, Twitter address, and relevant social media hangouts. That way employers can dig deeper than your nanny housekeeper resume.
Pro Tip: Tidy up your online presence. That tipsy pic of you in Cancun four years ago? That's not doing anybody any favors. See this guide for help.

How to Put Nanny on a Resume
Picture this:
You're making the switch to a "real job."
So, you're not writing a nanny resume.
But you don't get hired, because they think you were a "babysitter."
You need to know how to make nanny sound good on a resume.
So, here's how to include nanny experience on a resume for non-nanny jobs.
First, look at the job description. Write down all the duties, skills, and responsibilities you see.
Then, do a little head-scratching. When did you do those in nanny world?
Finally, in the nanny job description, add resume bullet points that prove your chops.
Governess (another name for nanny on a resume)
Performed daily scheduling of all activities. Included two physical and two intellectual activities per day.
Planned and cooked meals, conducting avid nutritional research.
Maintained clean driving record while navigating busy city streets daily with young children.
Maintained constant communication and collaboration with two demanding parents. Received frequent commendations for efficiency and thoroughness.
That's how to list nanny on a resume.
Pro Tip: Don't call yourself an "Au Pair" if you're not. It's not another word for nanny on a resume. "Governess" is a fancy word for nanny, if you must.
Knowing how to add nanny experience to a resume comes down to fitting with the job description. For pointers, see our guide: "6 Tips on How to Tailor Your Resume to a Job Description (Examples)"
Key Takeaway
Even when you've got perfect nanny resume templates to work from, writing your own is still a challenge.
Start by looking at the job description. Highlight all the nanny resume duties and responsibilities.
Prove your cred in nanny resume bullet points. Show measurable accomplishments.
Add other sections to show your human side. In a resume for a nanny, that means interests, hobbies, and other extras. You need to prove you fit the job like Spiderman underoos.
Do you have questions on how to write a resume for a nanny job? Not sure how to describe your skills or achievements? Give us a shout in the comments! We'll answer as soon as we can!

Nanny Resume: Sample and Complete Guide [+20 Examples]
You just landed that nanny job.
You know, the one with paid time off, health insurance, and your own car.
It wasn't easy.
You were up against 300+ candidates. Most had great references, experience, and Mary-Poppins-level nanny resumes.
But your resume went above and beyond.
It showed experience. Beyonce-style confidence.
More, it proved you fit the position like a custom-tailored Princess Elsa onesie.
How did you do it?

A nanny resume example better than 9 out of 10 other resumes.
How to write a nanny resume that will land you more interviews.

What's the Best Format for a Nanny Resume?
I don't know how to tell you this.
Those once-in-a-lifetime parents just hit "delete."
Your perfect nanny resume is gone forever.
Why?
Because you didn't use a professional nanny resume format.
Parents want to know you'll pay attention to detail.
Without it, you couldn't get a job nannying for the Bluths.
Use a trusted layout like the reverse-chronological resume format.
Make good use of whitespace, eye-friendly headings, and clear, legible fonts.
Last, save your great nanny resume as a PDF. MS Word resumes can scramble during emailing.
Now, let's get on with how to make a resume for a nanny job.
Pro Tip: Check the job offer to make sure PDFs aren't banned. Some applicant tracking systems don't play well with them.

How to Write a Resume Summary or Resume Objective
Meet Karen and Steve. They're searching nannies for hire.
The culprit is the cooing, smiling baby banging on the laptop.
They're fantastic to work for.
They're also reading dozens of nanny resumes.
How can you make them spend more time with yours?
Answer: With a resume summary or a resume objective.
A resume summary proves you're perfect for the nanny job with oodles of experience.
A resume objective does the same by showing passion, even if you lack experience.
See the nanny bio examples below.
Full Time Nanny Resume Examples: Summary Statements
Check out these two very different nanny resume examples (for a private nanny):
right
Compassionate, nonsmoker nanny with 3+ years experience. Seeking to enhance daily care for Jimenez family. Served as live-in nanny for over two years. Ensured physical activity 355 days/yr. Enhanced math scores by 35% through tutoring. Transported children daily with 100% clean driving record. Certified Child Development Associate (CDA).
wrong
Engaged, efficient, experienced nanny looking for work. Have handled all nanny responsibilities, including daily care, cooking, laundry, etc.
See that first one? Totally Mrs. Doubtfire. Chock full of measurable proof.
Our resume builder will give you tips and examples on how to write your resume summary. You can easily copy them straight into your resume - it will save you a ton of time.
Inside our resume builder you will find tips and examples for your resume.
Don't have that kind of experience? Write a nanny resume objective statement.
How to Write an Objective for a Nanny Resume with No Experience
If you're a newbie nanny, you can show your passion with an objective statement.
Traditionally, those just state your goal. They don't show experience.
But here's a tip worth gold:
Everyone has nanny experience. And anyone can get more, fast.
Look at these example nanny resume bios.
right
Compassionate, hardworking nanny with an abundance of patience. Have provided nanny care for six different clients. Received four written commendations from parents for efficiency and good-naturedness. Nonsmoker. Certified in CPR and First Aid.
wrong
Hardworking, efficient nanny applicant. No direct experience yet but I'm very eager to become a
nanny.
Big difference, right? That first nanny resume example could probably get you hired by the Huxtables.
The trick is, the "experience" came from volunteer work and part-time babysitting. It took about a month while earning income.
Pro Tip: Don't let your nanny resume summary or objective give you writer's block. Write it last, so you've got plenty of material.
Need more help writing a great objective or summary? Check out the nanny resume template up top. Also, see these guides: How To Write A Resume Summary: 21 Best Examples You Will See AND +20 Resume Objective Examples - Use Them on Your Resume (Tips)

How to Write a Nanny Experience Description for a Resume
Let's say you're trying to get hired by The Incredibles.
Your nanny resume will need to show experience finding invisible girls. It wouldn't hurt to add a history of keeping up with bullet-fast boys.
But if you're applying to Hermione Granger's parents, you'll need to show resistance to magic spells. Plus, prove your knack for engaging with extremely brainy children.
See what's going on here?
A resume that isn't custom-tailored to the job will get passed by like a public pool in February.
So:
List your last job first. Under it, add 4-6 bullet points that show accomplishments. But tie them to the job description for your nanny resume.
Examples of Experience for Nanny Resumes
right
Full Time Nanny
Peter & Kate McCallister
2015 - 2017
Served as live-in nanny to two beautiful, happy children. Fulfilled a general nanny housekeeper description and performed all nanny duties.
Assisted with daily care, nurturing, and play. Played sports, including tennis and swimming. Ensured physical activity of children 330 days per year.
Coordinated daily activities and scheduling. Did light laundry. Cooked nutritious meals. Received weekly commendations for meal quality.
Drove children to and from school. Maintained perfect driving record. Tutored children in math. Children's test scores improved by 35%.
wrong
Full Time Nanny
Peter & Kate McCallister
2015 - 2017
Served as live-in, full-time nanny for two years.
Helped with daily care.
Enforced regular exercise.
Coordinated daily activities.
Drove children to and from school.
Yikes. That bottom one might get hired by Peter and Lois Griffin.
But all it needs to get it dancing is a few measurable achievements.
Now, what if you don't have experience? That's where it really gets exciting.
How to Write a Nanny Resume with no Experience
Think you can't get nanny jobs without experience?
Think again.
First, you already have experience. You just don't know it yet.
Troll your past non-nanny jobs for any nanny resume experience.
Have you cooked meals for others? Done budgeting? Made schedules? Taught? Communicated? Those are all personal nanny resume responsibilities!
Second, you can get experience to build a great babysitter nanny resume fast.
How?
By doing short-term nanny-style jobs, including:
Babysitting.
Volunteer work for youth organizations like the YMCA, or preschools.
Working for family, friends, neighbors.
Camp counseling.
Also, check online forums where people ask things like, "How much do nannies cost?" or "What's the best way to find a nanny?" Those people are on the hunt for you.
Then, see the bad/good nanny resume examples below:
No Experience: Two Nanny Resume Samples
right
Freelance Nanny
2016 - 2017
Provided short-term nanny services for six different clients.
Received four written commendations from parents for efficiency and patience.
Scheduled activities for children 4-5 times per week.
Transported children to school daily with 100% clean driving record.
wrong
Nanny Experience: No formal experience yet, but I'm ready to learn!
Other Experience:
Waitressing
Babysitting
Angelina Jolie would hire from that first creative nanny resume sample.
But here's the trick: The same person wrote both resumes.
Pro Tip: Never use a childcare resume for a nanny position. Comparing nanny resumes to child care resume examples shows important differences.
Keep those parents reading with creative nanny resume action words. Can't think of any? Use ours! "+80 Examples of Resume Action Words for Every Profession"

Is Your Education Section Napping? It Might Be
You're a nanny. You don't need a college education. Right?
Wrong.
It's true that education isn't crucial in a nanny resume.
But not flaunting it is like having an UPPAbaby stroller, then only using it to carry laundry.
It can do so much more.
Start with the basics:
School Name and Location.
Years in School.
Degree.
But here's the magic:
Use nanny resume bullet points to prove you fit the job.
Education: Two Nanny Resume Examples
wrong
Bates College, ME
2009 - 2013
Received a BA in History.
GPA 3.5
That's pretty bland, right? It's cream of wheat when we need blueberry waffles with real maple syrup.
Mmmm. Waffles.
But see what happens when we do it right, like in this live-in nanny resume sample:
right
BA, Bates College, ME
2009 - 2013
Pursued a passion for childhood education coursework.
Excelled in special needs education classes.
Participated in student Head Start volunteer program for local children.
Wrote a monthly column in the student paper about disadvantaged children.
Wow. Suddenly you're Maria from The Sound of Music.
But anyone can do that in a resume for a nanny. It just takes a little work remembering old accomplishments that fit the job.
Ready for more creative nanny resume ideas? Let's dive into skills.
Pro Tip: Your employer will do a background check on you. Return the favor! Check references, and trust your instincts. You can even have a friend go with you to the interview.

How to Put Skills on a Resume for a Nanny
Let's check back with our awesome parents, Steve and Karen.
They're in a room with big, sunny windows. They're munching homemade coffee cake and poring through 300+ nanny resumes.
They're looking for the right nanny skills and qualities.
Only a few resumes will have them.
Be one of those few.
First, read the nanny resume job description. Highlight all the skills you see.
Second, list them on your nanny resume. Add extras so you're not just pandering.
Third, prove the skills by showing them in your experience and education bullet points.
Skills: Newborn Nanny Resume Sample
Let's say you're applying for an infant nanny resume position. It values newborn care, attention to detail, and prepping baby formula.
You'll put those in your skills list, plus changing diapers and doing laundry.
Then you'll prove them in your nanny resume bullet points, like this:
Performed duties of a nanny for four different clients, all with newborn or infant children. Changed 5+ diapers per day, fed 5-6 bottles per day.
Did laundry, including 2 loads cloth diapers per day.
Prepared baby formula for one client 5+ times per day.
Spotted RSV symptoms in one child. Doctor said I may have saved her life.
Noticed an expired car seat and got it replaced. Commended by parents.
They're all there. Those last two infant nanny resume bullet points show attention to detail.
With a formula like that, the Bradys will hire you if Alice ever quits.
List of Skills to Put on a Nanny Resume
Let's get the ball rolling (and bouncing) with the nanny resume skills list below.
Find more skills online, and search your work history for others.
Nanny Resume Skills
Soft Skills Hard Skills More Nanny Skills Communication Pediatric First Aid Physical Stamina Problem Solving CPR Newborn Care Love of Children Cooking Toddler Care Nonsmoker Planning Meals for Children Young Adult Care Reliability Laundry Dressing Children Listening Cooking Transporting Children Teamwork Clean Driving Record Helping with Homework Interpersonal Teaching Scheduling Activities Patience Preparing Baby Formula Spanish Decision Making Changing Diapers MS Office
If you do this, your professional nanny resume will be more popular than Goodnight, Moon.
Read the job description carefully. Live-in nanny jobs need different skills from child caregiver resumes.
Pro Tip: Is nonsmoking a skill? 89% of parents say they won't hire smokers. Yet most won't list it on a nanny resume. If you do, you're way ahead.
Want to make your skills section behave? Use the nanny resume template at the top of this guide. Also, see this article: "+30 Best Examples of What Skills to Put on a Resume (Proven Tips)"
6
How to Add Other Sections for an Effective Resume
Remember our fantastic parents, Karen and Steve?
They've narrowed down "the pile" to 30 nanny resumes.
All show similar skills, experience, and education.
Make it easy for them. Add some Supernanny "other sections" that show you're more than just a sheet of paper.
Nanny Resume Sample "Other" Sections
Additional
Take weekly yoga classes to stay fit.
Can provide five glowing letters of recommendation from parents.
Scored a 95% on the 4NannyTraining.com Nanny Skills Assessment.
Regular listener, NannyWise podcast.
Certificates
Child Development Associate (CDA)
Pediatric First Aid & CPR
Volunteer Work
Regular volunteer at YMCA as youth mentor.
The creative nanny resume bullet points above show nanny skills and qualities.
The yoga classes prove fitness. The Skills Assessment test shows you can handle nanny responsibilities. It also shows you're learning how to be the best nanny you can.
Pro Tip: You don't need a license to be a nanny. But if you've got a CDA or other certification, showcase it in your perfect nanny resume.
Drawing a blank for things to put in your professional nanny resume "other" sections? See our guide: "+20 Best Examples of Hobbies & Interests To Put on a Resume (5 Tips)"

Here's the Most Common Myth About Cover Letters
Nobody reads cover letters anymore. Right?
Correction. Nobody reads boring nanny resume cover letters.
You know, the ones that go, "Hi, I'm Sue, I'm great, I'm looking for a job, here is my nanny resume."
That letter might as well get eaten by the very hungry caterpillar.
Here's how to do it right:
First, make it personal. Call the parents by name.
Second, make it passionate. Share your excitement about the job. If you can learn a detail you like about the parents or referral agency, use it.
Third, make it tantalizing. Add 1-2 accomplishments to whet the appetite.
Fourth, use a call to action. That's as simple as, "I'd love to talk with you about your needs."
Last, follow up. A thank you note a few days after you submit your nanny resume can put you top-of-mind.
Pro Tip: Don't put references on a resume for a nanny. If you've got some shining ones, mention them in your bullet points.
Plus, a great cover letter that match your resume will give you an advantage over other candidates. You can write your cover letter in our resume builder here. Here's what it may look like:
See more templates and create your resume and cover letter here.

How to Add Contact Info to Your Resume
Here's a bad dream:
You shared your contact info. But you didn't do it right.
Now your nanny resume is in the rejects pile.
What did you do wrong?
Of course you added:
Full Name
Updated Phone Number
Professional Email Address
Like this:
Luca Collins, [email protected] - 617-756-1644
We say "professional" because nobody wants [email protected] watching little Dennis.
But here's the real nightmare:
The McCallisters have got it narrowed down to five live-in nanny resumes, including yours.

Executive Assistant Resume: Guide With a Sample [+20 Examples]
Meet the CEO.
Her name's Sharon, and she's amazing to work for.
She's also dialing your number. Why?
Of the 400+ executive assistant resumes she read, she liked yours best.
Your resume convinced her you can see around corners. Read minds.
To her, you're Batman's Alfred, but with better shoes.
You need to write that resume.
This guide will show you:
An executive assistant resume example better than 9 out of 10 other resumes.
How to write an executive assistant resume that will land you more interviews.
Tips and examples of how to put skills and achievements on an executive assistant resume.
How to describe your experience on a resume for an executive assistant to get any job you want.
Here's a sample resume for executive assistant made using our resume builder.

Executive Assistant Resume Example - See +20 resume templates and create your resume here.
1
What's the Best Format for an Executive Assistant Resume?
Let's look in on Sharon again.
She's tired.
Her assistant left two weeks ago.
Worse, none of the the 300+ executive assistant resumes on her tablet have jumped out at her.
Some are formatted poorly. They've got typos. And what is an executive assistant without attention to detail?
Then she comes to yours. It's formatted in the respected reverse-chronological layout.
That puts your most recent job first.
You've used clear, legible fonts, white space, and eye-friendly headings.
You've also saved it as a PDF, which means it didn't jumble up on her computer.
Are you hired? No.
But you're off to a great start. You've got Sharon's attention.
Next, we'll look at how to keep it.
Pro Tip: Check the job description in case it bans PDFs. Some Applicant Tracking Systems choke on executive assistant resumes in PDF format.
Not sure the reverse-chronological format is right for you? See this guide: "3 Resume Formats: How to Choose the Best One [Examples]"
2
How to Write a Resume Summary or Resume Objective
Back to our CEO.
She spends just six seconds looking at each resume.
You've only got that long to hook her.
Do it with a professional resume summary or a resume objective.
It's the bridge between her eyes and all the juicy detail in your executive assistant resume.
Use a resume summary if you've got drawers full of experience.
Write a resume objective if you're just getting started.
A resume summary summarizes your achievements and skills.
A resume objective shows why you want the job and why you're perfect for it.
See the senior executive assistant resume examples below for inspiration.
Two Executive Assistant Resume Summary Statements
right
Energetic executive assistant with 5+ years experience, seeking position with Bekaras Industries. Saved Kallas, Inc. an average 15 hours per week for four executives. Reduced travel cost waste by 28%. Saved $2 million/yr by eliminating customer misunderstandings by creating a new call system.
wrong
Executive assistant with 5 years experience. Highly skilled in communication, time management, and organization. Excellent problem solving skills.
See the difference? That first executive assistant resume sample could get you in as Iron Man's next JARVIS. The second? Maybe Brant from The Big Lebowski.
But what if you don't have experience?
That's when you need an objective statement for your executive administrative assistant resume.
Our resume builder will give you tips and examples on how to write your resume summary. You can easily copy them straight into your resume - it will save you a ton of time.
Inside our resume builder you will find tips and examples for your resume.
Two Entry Level Executive Assistant Resume Objective Examples
No experience? Think your c-level executive assistant resume will look like an empty Valentino briefcase?
Start it with a resume objective statement. They work for entry level executive assistants, or anyone who's seeking a new niche.
right
Enthusiastic executive assistant. Excellent EQ level. Skilled time manager. Served as freelance assistant to three executives in mid-level firms. Received glowing references from each for resourcefulness.
wrong Entry-level executive assistant. No experience as yet but I think fast.
Wow.
That first executive assistant resume example makes you look like the Genie from Aladdin. The second? More like Barney Fife.
You need to show the right executive assistant resume duties, even with no job history.
Pro Tip: Learn as much as you can about the CEO and company before you write your resume. You can't prove you're a fit if you don't know what you're fitting.
To really dial this in, use the free executive assistant resume template at the top of this article. Plus, check out our guides: How To Write A Resume Summary: 21 Best Examples You Will See AND +20 Resume Objective Examples - Use Them on Your Resume (Tips)

How to Describe Your Executive Assistant Experience
Let's say you're applying for Chewbacca's job, from Star Wars.
In that case, your executive assistant resume will need to prove experience piloting starships, fixing wonky hyperdrives, and scaring small, cute droids.
But if you're gunning for Tinker Bell's career, you'll have to show past accomplishments like sprinkling pixie dust and helping your boss think happy thoughts.
See the magic?
It all comes down to connecting with the chief. Suss out what she (or he) needs most, then show you've got it.
And after all, isn't that what being an executive assistant is all about?
Here's how:
List your most recent job first.
Add 4-6 bullet points that tie your perfect executive assistant resume to the job offer.
Examples for Executive Assistant Resume Experience
right
Executive Assistant
Kallas, Inc.
2012 - 2017
Fulfilled all executive assistant duties for four top executives in an international firm. Managed complex calendars, facilitated communication and logistics.
Tasked with saving time for all top-level executives. Saved each an average of 15 hours per week, which translates to $30,000 a week at current salaries.
Improved communication between executives/customers. Set up a call recording system that saved $2 million a year from misunderstandings.
Supported executives with project support, data tracking, and administrative tasks. Frequently commended for quick-thinking and resourcefulness.

Executive Assistant
Kallas, Inc.
2012 - 2017
Managed complex calendars, facilitated communication.
Handled logistics for the executives.
Provided project support and data tracking.
Responsible for completing administrative tasks.
That first example could get you a job as Hermione Granger.
That's because it shows specific achievements that tie into the job offer.
But how do you write a good executive assistant resume with no experience?
How to Write an Executive Assistant Resume with no Experience
Ready to learn how to write an executive assistant resume with no experience?
Here it is:
Get some.
Sound silly?
First, what is administrative experience? You probably already have some.
Think:
Have you ever helped an executive-level employee with a project?
That's executive assistant experience. You need to show it in your resume.
Next, find an executive, then help him with a project.
This takes a little networking. I'll show you how in a minute.
Two Creative Executive Assistant Resume Samples (No Experience)
right

July 2012 - September 2012

wrong
Executive Assistant Experience: None so far, but I know I'll be great at it.
Other Experience: Video production.

How to Get Experience for an Executive Assistant Resume
