[quote=Anonymous]You’ll be considered the help because you are the help. It is an intimate working relationship, but you aren’t family. They obviously feel above you, with the Mrs./Mr., but so what, they are above you. My bosses are above me. The amount of education and experiences that they have had far exceed mine. BUT, they treat everyone with respect. Are your potential employers respectful? Additionally, I refer to myself as Miss Name, and don’t leave that open for negotiation. It is a form if respect and puts me in a similar position as a teacher. But I am gentle, kind, loving, etc. I am an excellent nanny, but my role isn’t that of a friend and I like it to be defined appropriately. For me, there is a lot more that would help me decide. What is the uniform? Does it have the comfort and durability needed when working with children? Would they be willing to work with you on you uniform, black yoga pants (capris in the summer) and a certain style tunic and cardigan? Sign me up for that uniform! Are they hands on, hands off, authoritarian, want to work with you or just direct you, etc.? Hell yes to the chef and housekeeper! Are you their first nanny? Would they be willing to allow you to contact their former nanny or speak with the other household employees? Make that money! Deal with the shit that comes and build your savings! Good luck; keep us posted! [/quote]
