They should definitely pay you for those two hours.
Try to ask them prior to doing the trial just to make sure you are all on the same page. Good luck! |

| Yes, you get paid BUT be sure you get this straight before you do the trial. |

I think it was two or three hours. It was four years ago and I have been with the same family ever since. Truly a great job! |

Dear Troll, Are you advising nannies not to expect to be paid for their time? |

Please stop with the troll crap - it is so tiresome. And yes - if you are auditioning with employers for a job you think is perfect, I would decline payment for two hours. That is precisely what I am saying. A nanny can also learn a lot about employers if they don’t offer - a definite red flag. |

| I'm a professional and get paid for my time. You want to do a trial, that's fine. Please pay me X per hour. I don't work for free, why do you?? |

Because I prefer to look at the big picture and not buckle and dime potential employers for a position I very much wanted. It worked for me. |

| When you go through an agency the trial is always paid. If you want to be treated like a professional, act like one. Don't start a job worked for free! |
