[quote=Anonymous]Unless you had some stellar offers from other families, I would have gone ahead + agreed to do the shadow days for this family. The dynamic in this profession is based most importantly on good chemistry between the parents, their child(ren) and the nanny. Everyone must click and be on the same page regarding many things in order for things to work in the long-term. (Which I think is the ultimate goal for ALL nanny jobs.) I think they pretty much knew that they wanted to hire you, however they wanted to make 120% sure that all of you would be a great match. The only way to know that before extending a full job offer is to start off w/a shadow day or two. Perhaps you could have compromised and offered one shadow day....?? Anyway, the only time I may possibly deny a shadow day is for those families who have multiple candidates to shadow days so they can make a final decision. That is just not my thing. Good luck and I hope this was helpful.[/quote]
