[quote=Anonymous]I went on my first interview since looking for a new position. I usually work with first-time parent going back to work. I am very laid-back but I take my job seriously. I have been told I'm a great interviewer and many parents love my thoroughness ( I ask 15-20 questions pertaining to the job and child). This dad was very unprofessional ( making jokes, belching, taking nothing seriously, etc.). He commented on how I am " much more thorough than other nannies." In the closer they asked " why do you think you are the best candidate for him.". I simply answered " I am a nanny who cares. To me this isn't a job I show up to and do the bare minimum. I am entrusted to care for the most precious thing in your lives. I give my all everyday, because just like you, I care that your child grows up in a loving and secure environment, where he feels safe to express himself and happily grow." I said something to that affect.

I did not receive an offer because the mom thought I was " too emotionally invested". What? I care for your newborn and infant. Of course I am going to be emotionally invested in their well being. Now I'm honestly wondering if this family was just odd, or maybe I am coming in too strong? I really would love advice from MB's. [/quote]
