I would not be offended. I can tell you that as a parent the response rate can be really overwhelming, so a nanny who follows up appropriately might stand out in a good way.

Thanks I will send one follow up email.

If you have a paid account you can private message a family.

Even with a free account you can send another message even if the parents don't reply. It's a new feature

However, if you do not hear anything after a second attempt, I would let it go after that.

I thought on Care.com, you could only contact the parents who posted job only once. But I haven't been on lately so I am not too sure.



If you have a paid account you can email parents as much as you want before they ever reply.

Would you be turned off by a nanny sending in a follow up email after applying to a job 3 days before? I'm extremely interested in the job, but I do not want to come across as overbearing. I know parents get swamped with applications on Care.com, and I don't want to be lost in the mix.
