Job # 1. $18/hr for 50 hours. No OT offered. Baby is 4 months. Has reflux. Position is short-term from next week through mid-December. 15 minutes away. No connection with parents.
Job # 2. $18 hr plus OT for 44 hours. Baby is same age as other. No issues but bad napper. Short-term positions from next week until mid- January. Love the parents but commute is 30-35 minutes away. Both seem great but I'm leaning towards position 2. I think finding a position in or around January will hopefully be a great time. |

| January is easier to find a new position than December. And bad napper is easier than reflux. |

| Position number two hands down. |

| #2 but...bad napping could be due to reflux. If it's short term take the one that makes sense financially. |

Staying with # 2 for another month will earn me much more. Both babies aren't great napper a but it's not uncommon at this age. I'm going with #2. |

Don't worry abt the parents they go to work everyday. Just you and the baby. Enjoy it!! |

| OP here. I forgot to add that both families have one parent working from home. I personally like having a connection with the people I work with. It makes my job much more enjoyable. |

| They aren't allowed to NOT pay you overtime. It's a law, not a benefit they can choose to offer if they want to. |

I would definitely choose the second option.
OT is required by law & if a family intentionally said they wouldn't be paying that, then that is a red flag that they are going to try to nickel + dime you to death. Could also be why you feel no connection to the parents. They sound pretty shady to me. |
