Don't waste my time!

[Anonymous]

I went on an interview yesterday for a family that I found via care.com. The family's salary package matched what my requirement was (both were displayed on each our our profiles). They are in search of either a live in or live out nanny. So, I get there and they seem great, they tell me that they love me and are blown away by my experience, education, and references. She then explains to me that the "salary" package doesn't differ between a live in or a live out so it would be better if I lived in. I explain that I have my own house and I am only searching for a live out position. She then says that live out would be less lucrative for me and that she only makes the family's salary package seem so high because she includes the cost of rent into the package. So, as a live out, they would only offer 9.50 an hour but can offer me an apartment to bump my "compensation". Uh, no!

She is also searching for a college educated nanny who wants to be a career nanny. How is $9.50 a career?

I am so disappointed and find their profile misleading and deceptive. I thanked them for their time but said that there was no need for the interview to continue because I cannot accept that "salary".

Amazing. I am sorry that some parents can be that insane.

This is why we need refs on them before wasting so much time.

$9.50 an hour isn't bad when you don't have $1500 going toward rent every month.

I've never heard of rent costs being included in the package. You're either a live in which typically is less than a live out. And. It sounds like she needs to just look for a live out.

In that case, I've got a great job for you.

OP here, the thing is, she advertised her pay as $20-25/hr but then claimed that she put it to that amount because she included the cost of rent and utilities. That in itself is so misleading.

So then just take the apartment and sublease it and pocket the money! It's not that hard.

Or just run because this employer obviously doesn't consider what a live out nanny needs to survive. She should be strictly searching for nannies who want to live in.

You sound really petty.

And you're petty for feeling like you need to point that out.

This is senseless. I'm almost sure the employers would not be okay with the nanny subleasing the place.

At least you made me feel justified in feeling you are petty by continuing on like this.

I'm sorry, OP - you were absolutely mislead. Think of it as having dodged a bullet and move on to a better family.
