Good grief PPs, she didn't say she was changing diapers on the kitchen counter. They had a changing station set up in the vicinity of the kitchen, you know how soon houses have a bathroom in the vicinity of the kitchen? Same thing.

Um, nope.


What an idiot.mmwho does that?


Yeah, I was kind of shocked. She was the most professional and polished of the 4 candidates we interviewed, and also the most expensive. I really liked her until she started being so critical (and it's not like anything was dangerous, she just didn't seem to like the idea of a changing station in the kitchen area. But I had twin infants and that's what worked for how/where we spent those days!)

I was bummed. She went from my top candidate to a clear no in the span of that second interview.

You change dirty diapers in the kitchen? You must be one of the ones who think it is fine to change dirty diapers in booth at resturant. Gross and disgusting.

Changing crappy diapers in the area you prepare food in is really gross.


Not pp. We have a large kitchen and could easily set up a changin station in an area of the kitchen that sees zero food prep


It might not seem that bad to you because they're your kids, but a stranger coming into your home doesn't see it that way.
Would you really want to eat and prep food in a kitchen where feces is handled everyday?

I've been very politely told,"we'd love to hire you, but can't afford your rates on a FT basis." That mother was so nice that I told her to please call on me for evening/weekend help, and gave her a discount. Win-win.

+1 And the potential candidate did it twice during a 30 minute interview. She was very quick about it and just took out her phone and glanced at the text but it told me that either her life was too complicated for me (had a sick relative or a young child) or she was addicted to the phone. I am an older mother (42) who didn't grow up with phones attached to my hand 24/7 so I don't get the addiction/need to be in constant contact with anyone.

... because you are obese. I, too, struggle with my weight so on one hand I understand. But on the other hand, I know how physically demanding my kids are.
