[quote=Anonymous]OP, who told you your answers were exhausting?  Was it an agency worker?  If you are working with an agency and looking for a position that pays above average, I'm not surprised by this level of screening.  If the parents told you that directly I'm surprised by their bluntness.

For those of you who never bother with questionnaires, that is the kind of attitude that demeans your profession.  There are no licensing or educational barriers to becoming a nanny, so why shouldn't there be barriers to attaining a specific position?  Most professional jobs worth having come with a rigorous screening process.  In the corporate context, many positions require (explicitly or by custom) submission of a written vision statement.  Some even require an in-depth screening with a shrink.

The parents obviously had a bad experience with their last nanny and want to ensure a better fit this time.  They are looking for a professional nanny, not a glorified babysitter who will need a lot of day-to-day guidance in order to meet their expectations.  Some of their questions are a little too open-ended to yield productive answers, but I don't fault them for using a questionnaire.
