Seeking parental opinions on this. I'm registered with agencies of course but am also advertising myself so desperate am I now to move on. I have my ad which states what I feel parents need to know about me but I also include what I expect in terms of pay etc and preferences as to ages as my skills are best used with older children. All of what I ask is either law or the going rate (I'm a London nanny) so I do not feel it's unreasonable and am trying to avoid those delightful enquiries from those who want 80 hours a week, on call weekends, five nights included babysitting for fifty pounds a week.
Last time if I remember I received several abusive emails from people about being upfront about my requirements. Is it unreasonable for a nanny to state up front what they want? Surely a position that works for both parties has the best chance of success. The prospective employer can always not respond to the ad if they don't like it.
