How about the parents who only state that they need a nanny, but fail to list ANYTHING else!

Do not respond to parents who don't leave any contact. It's a major red flag.

I've noticed the same thing.

I agree. I find it amazing that parents want nannies to be comfortable splashing all of their information all over DCUM. Setting up a generic account is incredibly easy, and parents wouldn't need to worry about applicants having their personal email addresses later. I don't respond to anyone who doesn't post contact information, and I'm sure that most nannies don't either.
