"Attitude"?!  Is that like "uppity"?  [/quote]

Oh, please.

The only candidates I've ever interviewed for whom I could fathom applying the adjective "uppity" were young, white, american women who thought they were entitled to $25 an hour, and claimed 7 years of experience at age 22 because they were counting babysitting.  Compared to highly qualified, experienced, and competent grown ups with stellar references, but perhaps no higher education, or for whom English was a second language, they looked "uppity" indeed, and were definitely not the candidates I pursued.

And then there was a tremendously qualified and professional applicant who walked into my house and started criticizing how I had a changing station set up downstairs.  As a pp said, I'm not going to hire someone who thinks they are superior to me.  I hire people I like and trust, who love and understand children, and who are incredibly important to my family.  You might be tremendously qualified, highly paid, incredibly well educated, and someone else's ideal nanny.  That's fine - different strokes...

But there is a whole class of nanny (in my limited experience) who think they are vastly superior to others because they are american.  I loathe that mindset.
