[quote=Anonymous]The most akward questions are "would you be willing to do X without any additional compensation." I often do small favors for employers I am on good terms with and who I am confident won't tend toward job creep. However, in an interview I don't know you and I see it as a red flag that you would even ask a question like that.

Regarding discipline, I have worked for families with various discipline styles. If you asked me how I handled a situation and it differs from your approach I would hope ypu would also followup by describing what you would do differently and whether I have experience with that method. For example, one parent I worked for does inquiry based reflection (can you tell me another way you could have gotten that book from the top shelf?) while another one simply tells her kids what the rules are and the consequence. Some parents do CIO and some never want a tear to hit the carpet. An expereinced nanny can support the family in their approach.

Also, wait until the end of the interview to discuss salary. Most nannies have a range and your needs will dictate where you fall within that range. For example, if you are an emergency room doctor and will need me to work odd hours with little notice and in any kind of weather I would charge more then for someone who needs regular hours and I can count on having my weekends off. Same for extra duties. Want your nanny to doctor your elderly poodle and teach your kids piano? You can bet that will cost more. They need the full interview to learn that stuff about you.[/quote]
