Slightly behind, I fear, on the whole recruitment business, as a nanny-share we thought was arranged just fell through. Anyway, I'm going to post this ad (below), but was hoping that the MN experts would cast an eye over it and tell me if it looks ok. Is the salary being offered (given that it is part time) reasonable? Are the terms ok? Is what I say about a bonus and pay-rise ok, and should I mention it in the ad, or save it for the interview stage?
Thanks in advance for your help!
