[quote=Anonymous]I have a full time position lined up to start the last week of August. Another family I had previously interviewed with just offered me their job (3+ weeks post interview). Their six and nine year olds were horribly behaved, and MB was a firm believer in only positive parenting techniques ( No time outs, no consequences, etc). They have a 22 month old who MB insisted must be worn in a carrier during his 1.5-2 hour nap, and she still breast feeds him (and will come home during lunch break to breast feed him before nap).There are numerous chores required, and the six and nine year olds do not have any down or quiet time, and there is no screen time allowed in the house (I don't usually use screen time anyway, but with three rambunctious kids and no downtime that is difficult). The whole job sounded like a pain, and the pay offered wasn't great either, so I was obviously happy when the other family offered me the job.

Anyway, my current position ends this week, and I have three weeks of no job and no pay. I am considering accepting the job with this other family, since they want me to start next week, and just dealing with the headache of that family for 2-3 weeks so I can make enough money to get by in August (I have some savings but it will be completely wiped out if I don't have any work for three weeks). The way I figure, the job sounds so bad (and the pay isn't commensurate with the amount of work), so any nanny they end up hiring would probably get fed up and quit in a matter of weeks anyway, right? Maybe I'd work two weeks and then give one weeks notice (knowing they might not have me at all the last week). Thoughts?[/quote]
