[quote=Anonymous]OP here. She lives about two miles away so gas wasn't a huge issue. I have also applied for other jobs with wide salary ranges given and usually it isn't an issue (also my profile lists my rates so families who view my profile should have some idea of my costs).

I will say that once I met with their family I realized what a nightmare it would be to work with them. Their house was a disaster-- not just dirty (which it was), but literally in the process of being remodeled (and it looked like it was a long haul sort of thing, not something that would be done quickly). Before I'd even knocked on the door I could hear all four kids screaming. I was there for 45 minutes and there was just constant screaming the entire time, usually by three or more kids at once (their youngest is 2 so it wasn't just baby screaming it was fighting, arguing, defying mommy screaming).

Apparently the father (not divorced) lives and works in another town and flies home every other weekend. The mom was clearly trying her best but couldn't manage them all at once herself so I'm not sure how I'd be expected to? ehh, back to searching through job postings...[/quote]
