I'm in the wonderful position where I've gotten 3 job offers but I can't make up my mind on which one to accept. Please help me decide!
Here they are: All three are part time positions without guaranteed hours or benefits (I'm fine with this though) Position 1: (right now probably my top choice) -Part-time care for one infant (25 hours a week) -20 minute drive from home -really connected with parents -they happily agreed to my rate with no back and forth -only a 6 month position (I kind of like this though because it would give me an easy reference and update my infant experience on my resume) -neighborhood is very walkable with lots to do -would have to deal with 2 large dogs (I do like dogs though) Position 2: -Part-time care for 2 year old (30 hours a week) -5-10 minute drive from home (I don't even need to get on highway) -interview was a little awkward, I just didn't really hit it off with the parents -lots of back and forth on pay and finally agreed to $2/hr below what I wanted -have a feeling I am their second choice -walkable neighborhood, but not much to do Position 3: -Part-time care for a one year old and 3 year old twins (25-30 hours a week) -30 minute drive from home -interview went great, really liked kids and parents -a little back and forth on pay, but was able to get $2/hr more than what I got for position 1 because of more kids -they live out in the country so no activities that we could walk to Which should I choose, I need to decide TODAY!!!! |

#1 -- Hands down. I would hate to be in a neighborhood with no where to walk and nothing to do if I walked there. Plus a six-month gig where you gat a brilliant and glowing recommendation is worth it's weight in gold.
Learn infant sign language and get your infant CPR training while you are in this position to up your desirability. |
| Number one. Congratulations! Now hurry up and accept. |

Another vote for #1
Second choice would be #3 Unless you are desperate, I wouldn't even consider #2. |
Thanks for the advice! I went with number one and just got off the phone with them. I guess the only reason I kept number 2 in the mix was because it was so close.

Number 1 all the way.
Number 3 as a back up. Number 2 you shouldn't even consider. Congrats and goo luck! |
