[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here. If I'm asking you to work, I'm planning to pay you. Confirm that with your agency - it's their place to confirm with the potential employer. [/quote]

A trial day isn't work, it's an interview. Work means MB is at her job and you are caring for the baby, that is not what is happening. Did you pay your nanny for her 1 hour face to face interview? No. Then why pay for a trial?[/quote]

The nanny isn't caring for the child during the interview.  During a trial day, the parent won't be sitting next to the nanny.  Sometimes the parent leaves for the whole time, sometimes for just part.[/quote]

Exactly.  But even if they decide to sit next to me the entire time, hold my hand and not go anywhere they will be paying for the time. If this is what parents want they can interview nannies that are fresh out of highschool with  no experience. I have a degree, 8 years experience, American born and every family has written letters of recommendation for me. No way I'll spend longer than an hour  with a family for free after the initial interviews.

I believe it's the agency's responsibility to walk parents through this process and tell them what is expected if they want a smooth experience  and the right person.

For all nannies know these people could already have their minds made up on someone else or not even really want to hire right away and just want a extra pair of hands around for that day because their usual mothers helper wasn't available. If a nanny is paid then of well to whatever choice they made and everyone can move on professionally [/quote]
