[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm new to the whole nanny thing. I just graduated from college and figured this would be a great way to save money before going to grad school. I just got done interviewing with a family and I'm not sure if I'm being taken advantage of. They offered $15/hr (after taxes) w/ 2 weeks paid vacation and paid federal holidays. They expected 50 hours a week but did not discuss overtime (since they are going through a payroll company I assumed overtime was a given). 3 kids ages 3,5, and 8. I'm expected to watch kids, walk to and from school, feed them lunch, do laundry, keep their rooms tidy, load/unload dishwasher, feed/walk dog, bathe kids nightly, drive them to various activities, etc. I was told some overnights are expected and they will give me a $30 overnight bonus. The dad is a lawyer and the mom is a SAHM. They told me to expect to be "on call" 75% of the time and it would be "most ideal if I didn't ever really have plans in my personal life."

For what it's worth, I DID get some weird vibes during the interview when [b]the dad told me they would not hire me if I was a democrat, that he "would enjoy a fire in the fireplace when he gets in from work[/b]," and asked me if I had a boyfriend, where we met, how long we've been together for, and if he'd ever been arrested. I just kind of felt like this family might have boundary issues. What are your thoughts? I'm calling them tomorrow to tell them my decision and i'm torn![/quote]
