[quote=Anonymous]I just accepted an offer over the weekend. One of the three offers I had was with a FTM. MB had two beautiful kids (twins) and I really wanted to accept her offer. BUT - she haggled me over every single part of the contract. Not polite inquiries, hard core lowest bidder haggling. I felt like I was at a garage sale debating the price of tubber ware.

Nothing is set in stone but some things are industry standard. At this point in my career, the details don't fluctuate a ton. My benefits are always industry standard with a few small tweaks to reflect the specific family's needs. So, when a potential MB wants to haggle me over details like only giving 3 sick days instead of five - not worth my time people. She actually asked me if I were to have two weeks of vacation whether I would expect to use it all!

Apparently, she had done enough research to know what is standard. Bu her approach is more what I would expect of someone buying a used car under blue book value. Not the way to attract a good nanny.[/quote]
