Red Flags?

[Lee-Bee]

I don't think there is a difference between 11 months and 12 months so I would not screen on that alone.

If they ask once if the price is negotiable it is fine if they ask again then there is an issue. Some people just always ask...it doesn't mean they are not willing to pay the fees or can't pay the fees they just ask. Rich people aren't rich because they throw there money around...most self made rich people are rich because they penny pinch. Some people are just in the mindset to always try and get the best price possible and if you don't ask you don't get it!

Obviously none of this matters if they don't call you back!

Sadly all you can do to prescreen is state in your initial contact the price, hours etc. Some families will waste your time and come for a lengthy interview to then tell you the hours or fees won't work. As annoying as it is...it's part of the business!
