[quote=Anonymous]I have a couple of questions, in regards to an upcoming interview on Sunday. I am currently job hunting because my contract is ending soon.

I have been a career nanny for about eight years, experienced with all age groups; most of them being infants and toddlers. The interview I have coming up is for a family with three older, grade-school children that seems to need a nanny that can provide: childcare-related duties, some housekeeping, and what sounds like some basic household management.

1.) They prefer a nanny that can cover sick days, holidays, vacations, snow days, etc. This is obviously understandable, but I want to take some classes to further my education. I was upfront about that and they said they completely understand, would love to still meet, and hopefully we can figure out a solution. What can I add to this discussion when is comes up in the interview? Any advice?

2.) They said 52 weeks a year paid, vacation time, and sick days wouldn't be a problem. This is great! The job is 30-35 hours a week; do I ask them to guarantee the minimum or the max? Is $20-$21/hr okay?

3.) I would LOVE to hear any advice that would help a nanny with tons of infant experience get a job like this, look more appealing, etc. I do have a chunk of experience working for a similar household, but it's been several years.

Thanks so much!
