Hey guys,
I've got a kind of interview this afternoon. Well, a meet the family. It's a nannying position for a family whose youngest baby is in hospital and so they're hiring someone as it's hard to balance the children, work and hospital. Thing is, it's looking after 5 kids! 5 kids ages 18 months to 8 years. I mean, I can do it, but I know it would be hard work. And they're only paying £6 per hour "or more depending". The thing is, £6ph doesn't seem like very much for a nanny job anyway, but nanny for 5 young kids?? But then, it's a job, and I don't feel like I can turn down a job. But it's a 25 mile drive to their house which takes about 50 minutes, so 50 mile round trip, for £6ph to look after 5 kids.
I'm not sure whether I should just go for it. Or go for it but say that to look after 5 children I'd need more than £6ph. Or maybe say I'd take £6ph, but could they cover travel expenses too. Not sure what the hours are like, have sent her an email asking. If it's just for a couple of hours each morning then it's not really worth the drive and petrol.
But 5 kids?! Sheesh. Not sure what I've let myself in for here!
