[quote=Anonymous]I started nannying part-time and am moving toward a full-time career.  The family I have worked for longest has expressed interest in me as a full-time nanny, starting in a few months.  I have said that I'm interested, and am and was interested, but out of the blue a family. I babysit for has offered me a full-time position that I think would be a better fit for many reasons.

Job A would be live-in, with parents who aren't a great fit in terms of parenting approach, and would "need" very few hours (SAHM) so I think would ultimately resent having to pay me for full-time, even at live-in rates.  Plus, the mom can be a little high-maintenance and micromanager-y, which I can deal with well right now, but I think would be an increasingly big deal if I were living with them and working with her full-time.  But they are very considerate and generous employers and I love the children dearly.

The other jobs would be live-out, which is better for me since I live with extended family right now and pay very little rent, so the extra cash could go towards actual debt/expenses/savings.  They are an awesome fit--similar views on most child-care approaches, and the parents both WOH, so I would have more space to breath/create my own routine.  But I don't have the same history with them, so there is less guarantee on how we will interact long-term.  Plus they are more modest people so I doubt I would get the same amount in bonuses, etc. that I have become used to.[/quote]
