[quote=Anonymous]I put up a testimonial for my family's much beloved nanny who has been with us a number of years on a few local listservs listing my nanny's cell and email and also my contact info in case people had further questions. people have been asking me a bunch of questions that have made me uncomfortable and I don't know how to respond appropriately, namely what is her age? how many sick days has she taken? how much do you pay her? Am I being too sensitive? For the first two questions, she's not old, barely takes any sick days, but I feel they're inappropriate questions somehow, because people shouldn't make hiring decisions based on age and sick leave information they wouldn't have unless I told them. For the last one about salary, she was with us for a long time, and got regular salary increases, so I don't know if she'd charge a family that had 1 kid rather than 2 the same rate we paid her, or vice-versa, she may want to make more with another family. In any case, I believe these people should ask my nanny these things directly. Am I being too sensitive? How should I respond politely? I really want our nanny to find someone great, but I feel like some of these questions blur the lines on legality in terms of things you ask in a hiring process.[/quote]
