MB here. That is batshit crazy. THEY should have flown you across the country if they wanted you that badly. Do not ever do that again.

They paid for the plane ticket, not me.

Did you take the job? Why or why not?

No I didn't. I told them my price and after I flew back home they said we want to hire you but they had found someone willing to work for 1/2 my price. I was shocked they would fly me out and then pay so little. They were both doctors and didn't need to pay so little for a nanny. You do get what you pay for and if your willing to work for less then minimum wage id question that. But someone willing to pay illegal wages is wrong. This happened like 10 years ago, I was really young and probably got lucky that I didn't take the job.

They sound cheap. I would never take anything unpaid more than a couple hours for a trial. 3 days without pay is crazy.

They got themselves a real deal. One weekend a month like that can add up to some serious savings for these cheap parents.
