[quote=Anonymous]I have a question for MBs and DBs. I'm beginning a new job search, as my current charges are aging out of nanny care. This issue has always confounded me, and I'd like to know the reasoning behind it, or if it is something you all just do not consider. I find that most prospective employers will write a lengthy notice period (30 days-6 weeks) into the contract, while at the same time, so many prospective employers only give 2-3 weeks lead time before hiring (which after all is said and done with interviews, negotiations, and trial days leaves her with no notice to give at all), and then act put out when I say that I need to be able to give 30 days notice. Why is this? Why do you understand the need for proper notice on one end of the process and not the other? Isn't is a [i]good[/i] sign when a prospective nanny really wants to honor her contract and not overly inconvenience her previous employer? Why would you want someone who thinks nothing of dropping a family with little thought? [/quote]
