[quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays]My all time favorite is the couple who interviewed me in their 1000 sq. ft. "office space".

They greeted me, asked if I had any trouble finding the office, and then asked, "Have you accepted the Lord our Savior Jesus Christ as your personal redeemer?"

Whatever I mumbled must have been satisfactory, because then they showed me the 10 x 10 room where I would be caring for their typically active 18 month old.

Then I managed to keep from laughing hysterically, completed the interview as fast as I could, and ran away like the hounds of hell (<<<See what I did there?) were chasing me.[/quote]

This!  I've had the uber-conservative, Christian families that looked at me as if I was dirt because I came in wearing a long skirt (ankle-length); it should have swept the tops of my shoes and not shown any ankle at all.  And one mother who took one look at my hair and dismissed me; my hair is down to my butt and I had it up in a pony tail; I should have had it down or up in a bun, pony tails are for children, according to her.

The family that wanted me (live-in nanny) to go out the door with them every morning at 4:30am so that I could watch their twin 2 year olds in an adjoining room (15x20, I think, but still too small for all day) until 6pm; one bathroom for the whole floor of offices, the kids weren't supposed to make any noise and I wasn't to leave the premises.  The kids could eat when the parents ordered food in (breakfast, lunch and dinner...), but no food was to be brought from home as snacks.  The previous live-in nanny was fired for "inappropriate" behavior on the nanny cams, and when they finally told me that it was because the nanny allowed the brother to hug his sister, I laughed, told them that I wouldn't be a good fit, didn't know anyone else who would be either and walked out.[/quote]
