[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe she's still searching for a nanny who can use proper sentence structure.

It's called a working interview. [/quote]

Mean, but honest. OP your English is really bad. It isn't a try out -- you are not auditioning for a spot on the cheerleading squad. That text was written very poorly. `[/quote]
She wouldn't be the first who didn't much care about DCUM correctness.[/quote]

NP here and it's not "DCUM correctness" - it's poor grammar, punctuation and word usage!  It isn't "suppose to" it's "supposed to"!  Look, I would be very put off by that text!

THINK before you text!!!  Compose in your head or on paper and do not send it if it isn't correct.  This is a job prospect not a fast text to meet a friend for a burger.  [/quote]

Agreed.  I think there are a lot more employers who want a nanny who can read and write well over someone who can teach their child another language.  There are a few nannies on here who I'm surprised are employed given how incoherent their posts are.  Ops wasn't horrible, but if I was an MB and had kids who were learning to read and write, I'd be put off by the text. [/quote]
Thing is, most parents can't afford a non-broken English speaking nanny. You get what you pay for?[/quote]
Oh dear. Did you mean to prove PPs point? Regardless, you did. [/quote]
You proved yourself to be another hateful mb. Lovely.[/quote]

It's so interesting that any time a poster doesn't agree with a nanny they MUST be an MB. 
Wrong on that one though, just an educated nanny who believes others, including OP,  should think before they speak (or in this case type). The majority of the public already views nannies as lower class and uneducated. Perhaps you could work to change that perception rather than reinforce it. [/quote]

I'm a nanny as well and I called OP out for this horrid text.  I agree 100% that it is up to us to change the perception of a nanny as a second class, undereducated wet-nurse/maid.  [/quote]
