[quote=Anonymous]I had an interview several days ago that went really well. I was really excited about it as it offered what I was looking for, parents and kids were great, etc..

Anyway ..one thing that stood out to me in the interview was that Mom mentioned that she was blindsided by her most recent nanny's departure. She had absolutely nothing negative to say about their former nanny, and even said that they adored her. I guess their nanny left on very short-notice because she needed a new job for various reasons. The mom said she didn't begrudge the reasons at all as they made total sense(health insurance, etc..), just wished she had had ample notice.

So that being said ..she called my references and one of my former MB's contacted me to mention the mom was rather frantic about me up and leaving if she hired me. During the interview I clearly stated that I was looking for a full-time, long-term position and said that I would being taking online classes to further my education. Even though I made this very clear the lady repetitively asked my former employer if I would leave in September when school started. My former MB reassured her multiple times that I wouldn't do that, that I keep my word, etc.

My former MB said that she had to force in conversation to mention the positive experience we all had together when I was employed by them. She also said that the entire reference call consisted mainly of the lady asking about negative what-ifs.

I do apologize for the length of this and if it's confusing at all! I'm confused myself and I'm not sure what to make of it. I obviously haven't been offered/declined the position yet, but I can't decide if this is a red flag/just the mom reacting from a negative experience ..or what?

Hmm. Any thoughts? Opinion?

Thanks!

( Also, sorry for any grammatical errors!! )
