New employer wants to visit my home before hire me

[Anonymous]

RED FLAG!!! Do not continue the interview process with this weird couple. Graciously decline to proceed even if they recons their need to see your home. Have nothing more to do with them.

Or because as an employer you have her tax paperwork.

Sounds like PP either does cash or 1099, neither of which are legal.

If you will be caring for their child in your home, then this makes sense.
Or even if you will be bringing their child into your home at any given time, sure.

But if you will be providing care in their home, then I would not like this.

It could be a scam OP so please be careful.

Dear God, OP, I hope you aren’t even considering this! It does sound like a scam.

Creepy, much? Others are right. If the kid’s not gonna be at your house, there’s no possible reason they need to see it. If you still want to meet with them, I agree at a neutral place like Starbucks as a pp suggested is the best option. I wouldn’t recommend being alone with those weirdos, for your safety. People are crazy.

I suggest passing on this altogether. If they’re this intrusive and skeevy now, what will it be like working with them? No thanks.

This is first time they are going to hire nanny.
They wants to visit my home before hire me.
In fact they wants to come my home for interview. They are couple and the wife is pregaywith their first child.
I don’t have any idea what to do.

Do the parents understand what a nanny is? Maybe they don't know the difference between what a home daycare is and what a nanny is. I would suggest that you ask them if they are aware that a nanny works out of their house.

Are you sure they aren't expecting you to care for the child in your home? I'm wondering if there's a misunderstanding or a language barrier.

No.

Tell that you aren't interested in the position.

Run like hell. They have boundary issues. Red flag. Tell her you are not interested in an interview.
