[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found the world's greatest nanny on care.com.  She has been with us for nearly two years and is a true gift to our family.

Repost and rewrote your ad to sound friendlier (thank the nannies for considering you) and open your salary range.  If you want to pay $17 an hour don't check $15 to $20 - check $15 to $25.  [/quote]

This is bad advice unless you're willing to up your rate along with expanding your ad range. I will never understand why parents try to misrepresent what they're going to offer. If I need $20/hour, and you don't plan to offer more than $15, you're only wasting both our time by acting like you'll pay $20. [/quote]

Not necessarily true.  Yes, if you are sure you are only going to offer $15 an hour write $15 an hour.  However, expanding your range may attract a candidate (who restricts by range in their search) when they may be willing to compromise if you have something else to offer (like proximity or hours).  We got our amazing brilliant nanny by listing 15 to 25 and she accepted $18 to start as she lived one block away!  She told me she only searched for $20 to $25.  [/quote]

Yes for that one in a million chance you find a great nanny around the corner, it is worth wasting the time of countless other people  :roll: The selfishness and entitlement! It burns!![/quote]
