[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be unreasonable for me.

I shower every morning and put on clean clothes. I don't want to change again 30 mins later when I arrive at your house. It not only doubles my laundry but insinuates that you think my home (or just myself) is dirty.

I couldn't be without access to my phone. I have two kids in full time school, one with a life threatening allergy. I have two parents in their 70s that each live alone. I also have my 89 and 92yo grandparents still alive who live together but by themselves. I need to be reachable. I also use my phone for dance party music, directions, making reservations for outings, recipes for cooking/baking, setting up playdates.

Not quite sure about the quiet at nap thing. Since nannies don't get formal breaks and I'm used to working 45-50 hours per week, sometimes I need to call a doctor or other business that is closed outside of my work hours. For example, today I had to have a 10 minutes call with the roofers that are coming to my house tomorrow. I also have to call the post office as I'm missing a package that was marked delivered. Those can only be tended to between 9-5 and I work 8:30-5:30.

Basically, I am a professional, knowledgeable adult with 20 years' experience and a bachelors in child psychology. [b]The nanny market is booming with full time, long term positions that wouldn't have these requirements so there's no reason I'd choose to continue working in that environment.[/b]
