[quote=Anonymous]MB here. I think the first problem is the questionnaire - I really don't think this is a reasonable or effective way to screen applicants. So I think you dodged a bullet. I do think your answers were too long, but I don't like the whole approach. If I were in your shoes I might have given very short answers, or bundled some of my answers. I'd want a prospective nanny to demonstrate some knowledge and common sense, and also to make it clear that she sees her job as fulfilling the parent's wishes. The interview process should ensure that the nanny and the parents are on the same page, and can be a good team, but to have this exhaustive questionnaire I really think sets things off on the wrong foot. You're set up to look pedantic and long-winded, and then they hold it against you! Ugh. Good luck finding a better fit. I wouldn't want to work for these parents (and I'm a parent!)[/quote]
