[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely agree that you should be paid, but please don't write off the parents so quickly. As another poster said, daylong extended interview periods are the norm in other industries. The parents may just have been relying on their experience. From their point of view, you don't get paid just for putting in the time. The payback for your time is chance to get the job. Instead, I'd consider if you provided any value to them. If they left you alone and got childcare out of the deal, its very clear. However, if it was a real "shadow" day, and the mom was there observing and interacting with you the entire time, you didn't actually do any work of value to them. I don't think its as clear cut in that case. [/quote]

OP here. I have done two interviews with them prior to this " shadow" day. The shadow as the mom put it, was to see how well of a fit it is. MB stayed upstairs working the whole time expect maybe 30-45 minutes that we talked. I've never discussed being paid for a trial day because I thought that was well known. My mistake and will make sure I clear that up for the next family. [/quote]
