[quote=Anonymous][quote]Or she could let the mom know that it is not standard to lower the rate during nap time, and that she would love to accept the job but would need to be paid $15/hour for all hours. If the mom likes you, she may agree, if not wish her luck and move on. Don't be surprise when she comes back in a week willing to talk sense because she couldn't find a qualified idiot.[/quote]

This is declining the offer which all other posters included as an option to the OP. Its just more risky that the other party will not counter offer and walk away They may counter but you are always more likely to keep the negotiation open and seal the deal if both parties give something.

If OP is willing to walk away then decline the offer. You can hope that the other party will call back and meet your original request but if they don't you have no where to go. If she really wants the job but doesn't like this one aspect then negotiating by countering may yield a better result.

An important part of negotiating is keep the communication open and understanding your position and the other's party position. OP -did you get the impression that the mom really loved you or clicked with you? Did she seem relieved when she met you or express any anxiety about interviewing nannies? If she felt this way then there is a chance when you decline that she will counter offer but if not and she has other candidates she will move on. [/quote]
