[quote=Anonymous]MB here- We've been interviewing for a nanny for our two kids. I had three people come out to the house for a trial run and picked the one that we thought was a really great fit for our family. We made her an offer but haven't heard back. I asked her to let us know by a certain date and the date is coming soon. I guess I'm wondering if there is any chance she might still accept? She did mention a couple of times while she was here that it seemed overwhelming to take care of two kids, so maybe that's the issue. Our kids are active, but by no means wild.  We emphasize politeness, pleases and thank you's and that kind of thing. One of them even gave her a little something before she left. I know the salary be offered is a couple of dollars higher than what she's making now, and we offer paid benefits and guaranteed hours which I don't think she is getting now. We are also a long-term nanny family so I'd like to think we are good employers since we have experience and always try to treat the person really well. The other two people we met with for a more extended period of time both followed up and expressed how much they want to work with us, but I just didn't feel they were a great fit for the kids. I've never been in this situation before, and I'm finding myself really bummed that she might not want to work with us:( to the nannies or mb's out there – has this ever happened to you? If so did it work out okay in the end? The rational part of me knows if someone doesn't want to work with us, then of course it's not a good fit. I guess I'm just also exhausted at the thought of starting the search over again.[/quote]
