[quote=Anonymous]A family hired me based on my interview alone. I provided references from several families I had worked for in the past and because the hiring family had trouble speaking with all my references in a weeks time frame they retracted the job offer.

My interviews are always strong and during that particular job search I was offered every single job I had interviewed for. My references are also great but because I stick with families for 2+years my older references are less likely to return phone calls although they eventually will. Goes without saying but my background and driving record is clean and the hiring family was able to speak with my last employer with no problem.

Having that job offered retracted devastated me and it turned my financial situation upside down. Having already made thanks but no thanks phone calls I had to begin my search all over again. Most nannies (and young Washingtonians) live paycheck to paycheck without much buffer so I would really consider this when making a decision.

Transitioning is hard but it makes little sense to forgo this if is inevitable. Have you offered your current nanny more hours?[/quote]
