[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm a nanny currently searching for my next family. So far I have interviewed with 3 families, turning down one offer. I interviewed with a family that seems to be a perfect match yesterday. Four hours later ( same day) the parents requested background checks. Today they checked my references and offer me the position. I've heard from two references and they said the prospective employers were really excited about me and were complimenting my experience and knowledge through the entire call. When they called to offer, [b]they didn't seem very enthused or happy.[/b] I'm obviously aware that its good they offer right away but I've never had anyone boast about me to other references [b]and then be unenthusiastic offering me the position[/b]. Any reasons why? Should this be a red flag? However, they did compliment on my professionalism during the interview.[/quote] You're overreacting and making a lot of assumptions, OP. If they weren't enthusiastic about you, they wouldn't have offered you the job. The problem is that you have issues and apparently need people to say or do things to meet your definition of enthusiasm. Be glad you have an offer. If you can't manage that, then you're probably better off passing on this family so they can find a nanny who won't hold them to such petty judgments.[/quote]
