[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I extended an offer to a nanny. The offer was contingent upon references and a background check. We discussed via phone and in-person interview the need for the nanny to have her own car or a reliable form of transportation. The nanny said she was going to walk ( we are only about a mile away), get a ride, or drive her family members unused car.

We go to do a background check and she said she can’t complete the MVR check because her license is expired. She said it expired this year but didn’t get it renewed yet because of the pandemic. My husband and I now feel like she lied to us. She said she didn’t see a reason to disclose it because driving isn’t part of the job, and she had other forms of ways to get to our house without taking public transportation. She didn’t lie because she will be getting her license renewed soon. She said because it’s only a 6-8 week job, she didn’t understand the concern. She didn’t think we would run a background check with a MVR check because there is no driving required.

We feel uncomfortable and rescinded the offer. I felt like she should have disclosed it upfront and was dishonest. She feels she did nothing wrong. My friend ( who has a nanny) said I overreacted. Did I or was I justified in feeling she was being dishonest? [/quote]
