[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I reached out to the nanny on Friday to see if she has time to talk and she texted me back that she is on vacation until Sunday (yesterday). I texted her that I am very concerned that the hours and commute will be too much for her and she won’t be happy, so I am thinking this may not be the best opportunity for her but would like to discuss to see how she feels. She didn’t respond after that so I texted her again last night to see if she has some time to discuss today. [b]I can tell she has read both texts, but she hasn’t responded.

I will keep trying to reach her but get the impression she may just not call me back. [/quote]

She was on vacation.    You texted her with bad news while she was supposed to be enjoying her time with her children.   I wouldn't text you back either.[/quote]

I disagree completely.  The nanny was texted with potentially bad news that she could have turned around.  I think the nanny non-response is a red flag.

Yes, I absolutely would have texted my potential boss back no matter where I was or with whom if I truly wanted the job.  Enjoying your children also includes the ability to clothe and feed them!! [/quote]

Yep. I text with my care families fairly regularly on the weekends if needed and wouldn't have left the text on 'read' like that, vacation or not. Extremely simple to respond back. Nanny clearly doesn't want the job enough.
