[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unlimited paid vacation? Base pay $30/hr, 20 hours of OT at $45/hr? Are you kidding me?? I don't understand where people are finding these jobs. I have 15 years full time nanny experience with impeccable references, and have a bachelors degree from an accredited university in ECE. I speak English and Spanish fluently (not of Hispanic descent if that is relevant), and have a myriad of other qualifications and certifications. I look at job postings on care.com, sittercity, and my local agency websites ALL THE TIME. I've never heard of $30/hr (even for twins, and I've worked with many set of twins) with 20 hours of OT, or this concept of unlimited vacation?? I'm sorry I can't offer advice. I'm too flabbergasted. I might almost believe the $30/hr base pay, but this unlimited paid vacation...can't be real.[/quote] I am sorry you don't think it's something that's offered, but it is. I've actually been with the family for 2 years now and position B has been offered to me by another family. I don't abuse my time off. I've never taken a sick day, but I have taken vacations and with advanced notice my bosses encourage it. In the past 2 years I have taken 4 3 week European trips and numerous long weekends. No I don't live in DC, but I don't think this has to do with location at all. If I was asking about rate of pay or a family in one part of the city verses another for commute issues, then I can see the point of letting others know my location. I'm considering position B because of 1. The savings I can have 2. It will enhance my resume by having this family/type of position. [/quote]
