[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think the pay rate you are offering for the job sounds okay, but obviously something is turning candidates off of you. A job is more than the pay. Is your home difficult to get to? Are there parks and things to do around you, or will she have to drive/metro everywhere? Are you in a safe neighborhood? Is your home messy/tiny? And ask yourself honestly, are you coming across as cold, condescending, overprotective, or irresponsible?

These are all reasons that I may hike my rate up for a particular job that otherwise looks on paper like your run of the mill nanny job. If the area doesn't offer much and I'm going to have to put a lot of work(and possibly my money) into planning crafty/educational activities, my rate is higher. If the home, or neighborhood is such that I won't feel as ease, my rate is higher. And finally, if the parents give off the vibe that they will be a pain, but not about deal breaker issues, I may suck it up for a higher rate. I suspect something like that is going on, and also why you have people accepting but then continuing to interview. [/quote]
