When to tell potential new employer about upcoming trip?

[Anonymous]

How many posters in the jobs thread recommended telling a potential employer during the interview before there's a job offer? You seem not to have even read it, or you're in complete denial of the overall advice. Mind you, there was no mention of any particular job or field.


Exactly. No mention of field. This is exactly why that thread has nothing to do with this thread.


Exactly. The rules are always different for nannies, as far as MBs are concerned. You hold us to a different standard than you hold yourselves. We are but glorified servants.

Are you really so stupid to compare apples to oranges and come up with an entirely illogical conclusion...that nannies are servants? If you want to be taken seriously anywhere in life, you need to work on your logic skills. So far, you have none. Work on them, or you will continue to be nothing more than an irritating internet troll as opposed to the professional nanny you hope to be.

My post irritated you. You can't counter it, so you call my names and attempt to insult me. But I'm the stupid one.

We hire a nanny to do child care and we cannot afford to miss two weeks off of work, especially when they started (and especially if you want part paid). It would not be a reasonable option for us. Please disclose up front as I would not want to waste your time interviewing when we couldn't make that work.

Have a great trip.

What if she wanted it unpaid and could provide a few nanny friends you could interview (and liked) who'd be available to cover her trip?

I would then ask for the names of the friends and hire one of them. I have no issue with two weeks leave, but not that early on depending on our leave, especially considering we will probably need a few days off for us or her getting sick (I prefer my nanny stay home when sick, especially if she got it from us). I would not be ok with changing providers after a few months. After a year or two, maybe. After a few years, absolutely. I just can't up and take off two weeks nor can my husband.

If I took two weeks off like that, I would be terminated. The nanny relies on me having a job in order to have a job and get paid. If I lose my job, I have no need for a nanny. It is not about being entitled. If an MB is considering what is best for her child, it isn't having multiple caregivers either.

Backup care is prudent. Just look around.

I already countered your post, more than once. Yes, your post irritates me. Persistent stupidity always annoys me.

Your failure to correctly read English is annoying.

Then you waste your time and theirs interviewing when they may not be ok with that. Then they rescind their offer. Why play games?

That is why I hired a nanny. Otherwise if I wanted all those missed days, I would have gone with day care. That is unreasonable to go on a trip like that a few months after hire. Long term employment, yes.

If you think nanny care and daycare are equal, except for the availability factor, you're a complete moron. Hint: You hired a sitter, not a nanny. That explains your bargain rates to.
