[quote=Anonymous]MB here. If I decide you're the right nanny for our family then a preplanned vacation would not prevent me from offering you the job. If I'm teetering between two absolutely equivalent candidates - then maybe it would tip the scales, but that seems unlikely. Be as upfront as you feel able to be. Definitely DO NOT wait until after you've started - that's just kind of rotten. But do it in the interview if you get the sense that this would be a good fit and a job you want. Then couch it in terms of "I want to be very upfront about one thing, because I'm really excited about this opportunity." Then tell them about the trip and that you would, of course, expect that to be unpaid time. If possible, you might also assure them that you don't have any other plans for any significant vacation or time off for the next several months.... Good luck![/quote]
