[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with 7:16. A lot of the nanny posts are a long list of must do's. Not that I don't want to know what you want or need but there's often a better way to put it. And sometimes I think some of the items may be off putting to some nannies. I only reply to the ones I think I fit with. 
And yes I found my current position on this site. [/quote]
But this is how most job postings are written, benefits and pay are discussed when the offer is extended.[/quote]

You're not some company that we know anything about. There are no givens in nanny compensation. I need to know upfront if interviewing is worth my time because there are SO MANY families with unreasonable expectations, wanting to pay cash, no PTO, no paid holidays, no sick time, etc. I need to know you're going to be a serious employer and are looking for serious candidates before I even consider applying. [/quote]
I guess there is self-selection; I'd stick with a standard ad. You come across as someone very demanding and entitled, glad you don't waste time of people with perfectly normal ads. I am happy you found employment, but personally would never select you as a candidate. [/quote]

Yeah you're right. Expecting someone to make clear that they're offering a legitimate job before applying makes me so incredibly demanding and entitled  :roll:  A perfectly normal ad includes a basic description of the job. Given that there are no across the board standards in nanny positions, that basic description should include a salary range and the benefits you will be offering. If asking that much of a prospective family is just too much for you, then count me among your happily rejected candidates![/quote]
Glad we are on the same page![/quote]
