[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am working for a family that does not pay me on time and/or in full, so I am looking for another position. I do plan to give notice, but they do not know that I am looking. Last week a mom responded to my nanny ad and we set up a phone interview for this evening. Her name sounded very familiar, and this afternoon I realized that she is my charge's pediatrician and we saw her just three weeks ago! At the time I introduced myself as her nanny and the doctor gushed about the difference that a good nanny can make in a child's life. I like this woman, but I'm worried that my being the nanny of a patient may put her off. Should I tell her during the phone interview that we have met and the circumstances? Is there a way that references could be handled with my current family that wouldn't be too terribly awkward? [/quote] If she is laid back she won't care.

I would just continue the interview and then when you meet in person, act like you didn't recognize her name and then explain that you are looking for more opportunities. Don't bad mouth your current employers, but say you want to move on, per schedule conflict and feel it is time to move on.

Obviously she knows what HIPPA is and she can not just let the beans spill about x,y,z. So, its safe to assume if she likes you, she wont go around letting her patients know....(I mean your current charges). She will hire you and respect your reason for leaving and will give you a chance and go from there.[/quote]
