[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't ask and in the future I wouldn't mention other offers until it's been awhile after the interview with no response. You interview, thank them in a follow up email and when they respond explain that you really liked them and are hoping to accept a position in x amount of days. That they are your number 1 pick etc etc. you need to butter the family up. You can't put pressure on them and make it seem like you're so important that you can't wait for them to make up their mind.

My first nanny job was the only one I had to wait a few days for an offer, every other job I was one of first interviewed and hired on the spot. I always gave the family a sense that they were free to make the decision at their time and that I wanted them to have time to pick the very best. It made me seem patient, understanding, and caring. All qualities you want in a nanny.

As much as we want to seem in charge and can decide who we work for, it's still the parents decision. You will get more offers by being sweet and using some of your child manipulation on them lol[/quote]
