Text meaning ???

[Anonymous]

I had interview with very nice family last week today I received text from them
Here is text

Hi (my name )
- hope you had a great weekend. We would love to discuss a position with you. Are you available this week to come by and work out details as well as spend more time with the kids?

What is that mean ? Is she offering me the position?
Or wants to trial ?
Please need advice

She wants a trial and if that session works well you will get the job !

They want to iron out what details to put in a contract.

Yes, they're offering you the position.

[Anonymous]

Yes, they are offering you the position but most likely contingent on your rapport with the children and contract specifics.

+1

Yes, I concur w/the PPs.

Not trying to be snarky, but just was wondering why this was hard to figure out.

I understood it completely since it is pretty simple.

Congrats on your new position OP!!
Hoping everything works out in your favor.

she is not asking you to do a trial. She’s asking you to come negotiate the contract and say hi to the kids. Maybe ask them about their Christmas wish list or offer to play a game, see their room, discuss things you hope to do with them etc—get the kids excited to spend time with you.

They want to offer you less money.

Agreed. That's what we did with DS' nanny. We didn't want to do a full trial but wanted to see how she interacted with DS. Basically spent 15 min discussing a contract with us and then spent 45 min (paid for 90 min) spending some time with DS just to see how it went. 3 years later and I'd say it was a good fit!

Op doesn't sound too bright, so can see why they may try to pay less money

I think it is odd that they didn’t introduce their child to you during the interview.

So you basically were hired prior to them seeing how well you & their child get along.

Not my style of doing things, but keeping my fingers crossed that everything will work out in the end.

the text OP quoted literally indicates she’s already met the kids—“spend MORE time with the kids”, not meet the kids for the first time.

PP Here:
Oh sorry, yes I reread her post & notice that.
Thanks for the clarification!

They are not offering the Job; they are saying they would love to meet; with you and how you are around their kids and discuss in more detail the position and they decide if you are really a good fit for them. If not they have told you: it was very nice to meet you the other day and we would loveto offer you the Position. And then tells you " would you be able to come over sometime to hang out with the kids and discuss the position with you.
