[quote=Anonymous]It's too bad OP doesn't understand that the nanny did her a huge favor by being really upfront and direct. The nanny has provided vital information that will help OP find a nanny! Now OP knows this "one thing" might be an issue for other nannies and she can either adjust her expectations or change her offered rate, or simply make sure any future candidates know about this issue upfront so as to not go through multiple rounds of interviews with someone for whom this is a dealbreaker. I mean, I wasn't there so maybe the nanny was kind of up abrupt or unpleasant in the way she reacted, and that's what made it feel so awkward for OP. But even then, I'd rather err on the side of honest and direct. Sometimes it's hard to do it in a way that is gentle or cushions the blow -- it depends on how open the other person is to hearing it. But kudos to this nanny for being so willing to just say what needed to be said. I wish this was more common.[/quote]
