[quote=Anonymous]I would be really hesitant to take this job, even though it's a full-time job offer with good pay -- which is hard to find as a new grad! As a nanny, you know it's not a 9-5 job. It really needs to feel right on all levels so it will work out long-term or you will be miserable every day. At first you will try to make it work, bite your tongue a lot when small issues arise, and vent to friends/family every now and then. And then it will probably turn into a mess and you will probably regret taking the job and start thinking about how to quit. On the other hand, some families expect a lot of out of their nannies but treat them very well in return. It depends on what kind of personalities the parents have. But are you really ok with working 50 hours a week and then not being able to have any secured down time if you are supposed to be on-call 75% of the time? Essentially you will have to ask the parents every time you make plans outside of your normal work hours to make sure that they will not call you in. This is what I had to do in a similar position before. Good luck![/quote]
