[quote=Anonymous]I would not be comfortable to take a position without a shadow day, especially with kids who don't speak yet. How will I know which teddy bear works best and where extra toilet paper is? A shadow day lets me learn all the little details about the job, the house, the NF style, particular house rules and the children. The NF it gives the confidence that they have left me with all the relevant information and had me watch how they do things so I can continue in their style. And it gives both sides a chance to get to know each other a little bit better and see each other in action. Though I would probably differentiate trial days and shadow days. Shadow day is my first day of work and I'm already hired. Trial day is when I come in somewhere after a successful interview but before being offered the position and spend some time with the kids to see if we click, etc.[/quote]
