How to sign "nanny" as my job....

[Ellie Russell]

Heyy, 

I can't seem to find a sign for 'Nanny' as in the job...not as in 'grandmother' (apparently people use these interchangebly). I want to be able to fully sign "I work as a nanny"/"my job is a nanny"....but so far have just been using 'teacher'.

hello  just a tip could you speak with your voice off as deaf/hard of hearing read lip a lot like me also will ask my signer what is the sign for it too!

Thanks! Yes! I don't know why I wasn't talking/mouthing in this one! I mostly do when practising! Although I do actually have a question about that...when speaking/mouthing while signing, should I use the BSL grammatical structure i.e. say exactly what I'm signing "work me what?" or try and say how i would in spoken E

nglish even though the sentence structure is different? I tend to naturally speak the order of the signs but not sure if that's the right way? P.S I tried to sign in the video "thank you for helping me" but wasn't really sure how...hence the "Thank you, help me"
