How well should I know the person I am leaving my child with?

[Anonymous]

Does it really much matter? Can't a background check do the job? I don't really have the time or patience to be bothered with this garbage. What I really need to do, is get on with my career. I didn't go to college to be sitting around with this kid. I need to repay my college loans to.

Ok, if I have to, I'll call up her refs. As long as there's no known history of child abuse or neglect, that should be ok, right? If she shows up on time and does everything I tell her, I should have it made. What if her English isn't the best? Who cares. What's the big deal that you all keep complaining about?

Maybe children deserve better?

You're either a troll or a complete moron who should be banned from bringing children into this world.

OMG can people find no other way to spend their time? Try reading a good book. Maybe taking up a hobby other than making up stories to cause trouble.

I'm sorry to boost this thread up people but I just had to give OP a few pointers on the art of trolling..

An experienced troll wouldn't be so obvious. You need to be more realistic in your trolling and make people guess if it's real or not. I knew this was 100% fake after reading the first several words. Your thread scams "I AM BORED, HUMOR ME!".. Make people wonder..

Example:

Subject: How well should I know the person I am leaving my child with?
Question: I ask because I recently hired a nanny but because I had a deadline and had to be back at work I felt somewhat rushed in the process. The nanny appears very nice but then again my baby is too young to tell me if she is indeed 'nice'. She cries when the nanny picks her up but this is expected in the beginning so I don't want to jump to conclusions.
I didn't do a background check but we corresponded online for over one week and although she has a large empty gap in her work history she seems to have a legitimate excuse (stay at home mom to her 14 year old). She claims to have worked with children her whole life yet I only received one reference with whom I corresponded with over email (didn't receive a phone number)
My infant doesn't have any bruises (I've checked daily) and nanny seems normal, not nervous or jumpy but I still don't feel like I know her enough to be comfortable with the situation but at the same time I can't take time off work or else I would in a heartbeat. I already plan on getting a nanny cam but I barely make it buy on bills so It might take a couple weeks. Is this normal? can others relate and if so, how do you keep your sanity and reassurance?

Why don't you find your nanny at a Home Depot parking lot? Ask the men to bring their girlfriends and wives so you can pick one out. No English. No problemo. I want my kid to speak Spanish or whatever.
