[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you ever hear from a former MB that a potential employer candidate, asked about your compensation package, RUN.
Red Flag.
Obvious boundary issues. Next thing she'll be wanting to know what color panties you wear. Just not appropriate in the nanny world even if it is elsewhere. [/quote]

I don't understand how verifying compensation history is inappropriate.  It's appropriate in any employment discussion- you have to provide this info and the potential employer should verify it. If you give me info you don't want me to verify, THAT is a red flag.   A nanny like the PP who will argue that a nanny is a "professional" but should be exempt from any standard of any other professional environment is also a red flag.[/quote]

In other industries its understood that someone with significant experience who has shown longevity at one place of employment rightfully expects to be offered a higher salary than their current one. This is not understood by nanny employers, most of whom have no hiring experience and unfortunately are as cheap as they come. If you ask my references what they paid me they will likely tell you off, then call me immediately to tell me you have boundary issues and are trying to low ball me. Offer what you feel is appropriate for the job, don't base it off her last salary. [/quote]
