Bad advice. They gave you a good offer and that is what counts. Do not judge someone based on whether they are a cheerleader.

How do you recommend judging a person's integrity?

Or do you think it's better for nannies to play dumb, so you can continue taking advantage of them?

Do they pay you what was agreed upon in a timely manner? Do they stick to your written and verbal agreements? Do they respect your time and outside commitments? Do they treat you like a professional with respect?

Parents who do all of the above, are few and far between.
Everyone knows it. Or are you new here?

I am not new here and, according to you, I am "few and far between."

Excellent. I hope you aren't the poster who adviced OP to accept the job offer from questionable people.

Did you accept the offer, OP?
