[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you going to be making much overtime in these positions? Are there many other benefits being offered? If they are offering other benefits (including things like housing as a live-in, paying for insurance, more than two weeks paid time off per year, etc), and/or will be paying 10+ hours of OT per week, then perhaps you are asking too much.

You say you drive; will you be offering the use of your own (safe, reliable) car for transporting children?

Do you speak any other languages?

Are you turning up your nose at cooking, laundry, or other housework?

What "certifications" exactly do you have?

Also, you yourself admit you've only been on 4 interviews. Come and whine here when you've been on 8-12; sometimes it takes time (and effort) to find the right job, [/quote]

I came from the NY area, if that matters. In previous families I've received 1-2 weeks vacation, 3-5 sick days, and some paid holidays. Most families have done OT, and I only do legal pay.

I have an associated degree in Early Childhood Development, I'm CPR/First Aid certified, and I get my annual flu vaccine. I have also my TDAP.

I do all baby-related housekeeping, make homemade baby food, load/unload dishwasher, clean up after myself, run errands/grocery shop, and keep common areas tidy. Some families had me take care of pets, and vacuum/sweep, on occasion.

I drive but do not own my own vehicle yet. [/quote]
