[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I interviewed with a family yesterday and really like them. I was there 2.5 hours with several compliments throughout the interview. The parents specified they wanted to do a shadow day with their chosen nanny. Towards the end of the interview, the dad kept asking me to do two shadow days next week. I have other offers and told him I don't do shadows days, unless I have some offer. It can be contingent on the shadow day, but I do not want to left high and dry. He then still asked five more times if I would do it. To me it was almost like a verbal offer on the spot. I do have offers and wanted to get theirs in full before I made a decision. The mom told me there was another interview after me and they would let me know.

I did not get it and I'm assuming it's because I was pushy on an offer first? They seemed adamant they ( at least the dad) wanted me. Now I'm trying to learn from my mistakes and wonder if I should keep my mouth shut on other offers, and do shadow days before an offer? [/quote]

Why do you care? You had all those other offers, just accept one and move on. You obviously didn't care about this family/offer enough to agree to a shadow day when ask so I don't see why you are even still thinking about it.
