[quote=Anonymous]wow, tough call. I'm probably not going to be much help but really you need to sit down with a pencil and paper and do an old fashioned pro-con list. I'd want to know more about whether the one family seriously offered you to move in (and if so, what kind of accommodations and for how long are they willing to do it) or were they just spouting off in the moment, saying what you wanted to hear without really thinking it through?

How long would the families be able to handle the extra hours before resenting it and realizing they're paying for something they don't need?

How many days a week do you work for them and what hours? If it's 4 days a week, could you find a one day a week gig that would be pretty consistent? I've never had much trouble finding those.

How much is your moving cost...truck, time to do it and unpack/pack, move in costs etc? Would you be pissed that you moved for this family if things didn't work out afterall? Remember, they're pulling their kids from daycare so they haven't experienced the sticker shock of having a nanny yet.

Would the share families ever be able to trust you again since you're looking for more money? Would they always keep you at arms length and treat you as a temporary employee?

Would your overall quality of life improve if you moved? Do you have a place in mind that's affordable and close to things like work, groceries, mass transit etc or will you have to make some big lifestyle changes when you move?

How much more money per month will you be making and how much will the cost of your rent change? Will the rent be more or less per month than you currently pay?

Just some stuff to thing about...[/quote]
