[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Use the family before your current one. Also let the interviewing family know your current family doesn't know you're looking yet and you'd like to keep it that way until you have an offer. Most families will understand, especially since you've been with the current family for a good long stretch and aren't job hopping every 6 months.

Keep it as neutral as possible when discussing why you're leaving. Communication reasons are as good as any. It's ok to say you like them as people and love the kids but the parents aren't on the same page with each other and that makes it hard to do your job when you're being told one thing by mom and something else by dad. Don't mention pay or benefits. If the current kids are getting older and you think they might be heading to school before long, you can use that too. If you're interviewing for a baby, say you excel with infants and toddlers and the other kids are getting older and will be heading to school before long (if that's true.)

Good luck, I hope things work out well for you. My personal experience has been I do better with a couple of part time jobs than one full time. That way if one doesn't work out for any reason, I've still got income while I fill in that hole.[/quote]
