[quote=Anonymous]I recently did a trial shift with a new family and it became clear about 3 hours in the MB did not want to hire me.

It was for 1 boy, 3. She was paying $27/hr.

The little boy is allowed to watch cartoons while he finishes lunch. MB wanted him to go outside around 10am for a walk to the park. I kept asking the little boy if he was ready to go for a walk and he said no. She gave me his daily schedule at 9, and said at 10AM every day he goes for some kind of an outing before lunch. At noon, she came out of her office and asked me if I had taken him to the park and I said no, because he didn't want to. It was also freezing and 64 degrees in the house, so I was wrapped up in a blanket and sitting on the couch.

She said I need to let her know if there's issues at any point, if I'm too cold, then he's too cold. He was dressed in short and a t-shirt and she put warmer clothing on him right away, turned off his iPad and told me I need to take him outside. I said at that point it's clear this wouldn't work and I needed an MB who is a little flexible and understanding. I said there's nothing wrong with going after lunch, and she said I was right, but after lunch is normally quiet time or his nap if he will take one.

Did I do anything wrong here?[/quote]
