MB here. I only appreciate one round of negotiation, if you are the favored candidate. If I ask you your rate, I expect your best offer. I'll counter with what I am willing to pay, maximum. At that point, I expect you to take it or leave it. I have too much respect for you to drag you through rounds and rounds or negotiation. It's simply not worth it for either one of us.

If you are not the most favored candidate, I probably won't ask you your rate and simply offer what I am willing to pay and you can choose the job or not.

I would think you would make your "best offer" to me first, based on everything you have learned thus far, 
ref. letters, phone discussions with former employers, in-person meeting, observation of your child with me.

Until I meet with both parents and child, I can give you only a general hourly fee range. I need to know the complete scope of the job and the complete compensation package, before I would know my final hourly rate for you. [/quote]

I'm the PP you are quoting and I don't think we disagree in any substantial way.

Perhaps the only place we differ is in where the ultimate power lies. In case you don't understand, I have many more choices for childcare and can pass on you if you imagine yourself more worthy than you are. There are many more nannies on the market than jobs.

Good luck in your job search![/quote]

You're ego tripping, and it will cost you good candidates. As its been said before, there are lots of nanny candidates out there. If that makes you feel entitled to throw your weight around and expect too much for too little, so be it, you can have one of the many unqualified uneducated nannies who believe you when you say you have all the power. A qualified, English speaking, educated, professionally behaved nanny is ALWAYS in demand and has many more choices than you realize. None of us are desperate to work for someone with your awful egotistical elitist attitude. "The ultimate power"  :roll:  lol[/quote]
Well said.[/quote]
