[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long-time nanny here.  I had that feeling about something not being right, took the job anyway, and regretted it for a long time.  I can't tell you how many times I thought back to my gut feelings in the interviews, and wish I would have listened to them.

I would advise you either to just keep looking, or ask for a casual-type visit.  I'm assuming they have offered you the job?  In another visit, you could stay and play with the toddler while chatting with the MB, etc., for 2-3 hours.  Offer to do it for free, even.  In the long run, it'll be worth it.  Sell it to them as a more casual, get-to-know-you type thing.  You can see if she is still flakey, or if it was just the first interview.  You can also see if there are solutions to the toddler/busy street issue, etc.  You will get a better feel for the whole picture.

You can do the trial period too, of course, but that may be more disruptive for all involved.  I'm guessing that a longer visit there may tell you what you need to know to decide.  [/quote]

Thank, PP, that is good advice.  [/quote]
