[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last thing you should negotiate is the pay, families want to know your intention in working for them and if it all about the money then chances are they will pass on you. Pay negations come when an offer is made and a contract is being put together. It is true you cannot put a price on being able to love the children you care for, [b]from my point of view loving and caring for the children and family come free of charge, I am payed for my time and the experience I bring to the home. If the first things out of a candidates mouth is "How much you pay" plan on not getting called back.[/b][/quote]

This is an excellent way to explain what parents are looking for, too. They want to feel like you are drawn to the job because you think you will be a good fit, will like the family, etc., and then want to talk about logistics (pay, vacation, etc.). In other words, you are more interested in presenting what you can offer the family than how good the compensation package is. Parents understand (usually) that the compensation package is important, but they hope that you are doing something you love, and haven't just decided to be a nanny because it pays better than other jobs you are qualified for.[/quote]
