[quote=Anonymous]It's more likely to be the time of year than you and your benefits/work requirements. For what it's worth, I would not recommend emphasizing the 20-25 hours a week and every other weekend off. You don't want to attract candidates who are looking to do as little work as possible. There's plenty of child-related work such as laundry, cleaning kids' rooms, doing kid-related cooking, shopping, and dishes etc. that can fill those hours. (As an experienced HM you already know this I'm sure but in case other families new to the process are reading the thread -- it's better to set high/realistic expectations of the number of hours of work whether or not the kids are actually there, and then get more flexible over time).

OP -- which agency are you with? There's nothing wrong with signing up with other agencies to see what their candidate pools are like, particularly if you're currently with an agency that limits the number of candidates you can see and/or connect with at one time.[/quote]
