[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your schedule makes it obvious that you're trying to avoid overtime, and it it would make your job less attractive to me because of the lack of OT, and because you look like someone who cuts corners. Where else would you try to skimp? Are you going to be one of those parents who gets mad when they have to pay for hours they didn't use, even though you agreed to guaranteed hours? What about days your mom can't come? Are you going to expect me to be available? It just makes you look like a less desirable employer OP. that is your problem, not your rate. [/quote]

You're ridiculous.  OP has done nothing wrong - she needs help for 40 hours/week - that's full time.  Everything else is none of your business and your judgment is utterly obnoxious.  I pity whomever is stuck w/ you as a nanny.[/quote]

OP asked why she isn't getting candidates, and I gave my opinion, just as everyone else on the thread. It is clear from the schedule and having grandma come to fill in that OP is trying to avoid OT. That to me makes it look like OP is trying to cut corners and I'd be wary. You're the only one being obnoxious. [/quote]
What's the problem with only paying for what she needs? She doesn't happen to need the nanny for more than 40 hrs a week.  Why should she have to pay for something she has no use for?[/quote]

I never said she was doing anything wrong. I said the way she's set it up makes it very obvious to any candidates what she is doing. It's not wrong, but it does make it look like she is going the extra mile to cut costs. If you were interviewing at a company for a new job, and you saw indications everywhere that they were cheap and were trying to cut costs, would that company still be attractive to you? Wouldn't you wonder just how far this cost-cutting goes? Or wouldn't you be concerned that the company might be having money problems, or has taken on more than they can afford? I also stated that another concern that I would have is whether or not OP has a plan for when her mother is unavailable, and does that plan involve me having to drop everything and work those extra hours? Like others have said, a 40 hour, 4 day work week is much more attractive than what OP has laid out. [/quote]
