[quote=Anonymous]The two MBs that posted are correct. Honestly I think you're overthinking it and taking it too personally. There are thousands of ads, some of which have old details, and parents are, just like any recruiter, casting a wide net and seeing what they come up with. Similarly, when I post a nanny ad, 9/10 responses are either generic form letters or don't match my clearly stated requirements even a little. Do I think it's because I'm such a special mom they're just specifically targeting me and begging? No. Do I think they're just dying to work with my kids?  No. Do I think they're just the best nanny ever and surely I'd want to hire them even if they don't meet my requirements?  No.

I assume they're contacting a ton of positions in the hopes they'll find something that works out.

Don't take it personally OP and don't assume the parents even think about it enough to be thinking they're going to steal you away. They probably glanced at your ad, thought maybe it was old info or didn't look closely in the first place, and included you in their multiple emails they sent out. [/quote]
