[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not use "I do not negotiate." That is very stern/harsh language and will be a turn off even to those who can afford your rate. In future, just say, "Sorry, $X is the lowest I can go. If that's not comfortable for you then it sounds like we aren't a good fit financially."[/quote] As an MB I totally agree with this. There are ways to say "I'm sorry but I have a certain level of income I need to maintain" that can also help you figure out whether there is any wiggle room in the offer from the parents. Hearing "I do not negotiate" from a candidate would make me immediately reject you, even if there were room for me to pay more or you seemed really fantastic. I need, look for and give flexibility in the working relationship with our nanny so that would be a deal-breaker.[/quote]
