[quote=Anonymous]I'm on the job hunt and having an unexpected problem. I've interviewed with a handful of families who seem like really great fits for me, but each one of them has looked at me like I was crazy when I bring up the subject of having a contract. I've even changed my wording to "work agreement", thinking the formality might be putting people off, but I get the same response regardless. Maybe it's my area (coastal college town in Southern California, no nanny agencies in range) but I want to be a professional. I've put a lot of care into drafting an agreement that welcomes input and collaboration from the family, but nobody seems interested. *note: these are all middle/upper-middle class households, most jobs offering below minimum wage, just doesn't seem to be a big nanny culture here. Not sure what to do. :([/quote]
