Do you drug test your nanny?

Regardless, I think requiring a drug test, credit check, or any other checks would effectively rule these people out. Which I would certainly want to do. None of the people replying so rudely in here are people I would want in my home caring for my children.

As to credit, I have some experience in this area, having sold homes and having dealt with credit regularly. Bad credit can effectively identify character deficits: potential to steal, issues with lack of responsibility, and/or stability. It can also indicate a run of bad luck/misfortune. In the sale of homes, we always ignored medical bills showing up on credit checks. Utility bills were serious red flags, and there needed to not be too many other dings, especially not big ones.

Sure, people who have had a string of misfortunate happenings need opportunities. But they ought not require those opportunities be given them with the most valuable treasure a person could ever have - their children. Or their homes. All our possessions are there as well as private information. No individual owes any other person another shot at life. There are enough opportunities out there. It is highly dysfunctional to act like a person does not have the right to be as discriminating as he/she wants to be when hiring someone for the care of their children. If you want more opportunities in life, I suggest you be a little bit more polite with the hands you're desiring feed you. Learn to handle rejection. We all get rejected in life, and dealing with it gracefully will wear well, I promise.

The richer you are, the less likely you are to steal?

I should, but don't have enough time for that nonsense.

I wish I knew you so I could vomit on you. You have such a huge burr up your arse, I can't imagine you have friends or that anyone would want to work for you.

Never heard of any nanny being drug tested. If you think you need to, you have no business leaving your child with her. Some of you are really nuts.

Aren't you a charmer?!

I totally agree with everything the target of your revulsion said. He/she is completely right.

NP, but I certainly hope you aren't a nanny.

I don't smoke but know a handful to do. Most of you would be horrified to find out what they do for work.
