[quote=Anonymous]Cons - Helping raise someone else's kids and being their employee is VERY different from raising your own kids. She might be great at raising her kids and still be a lousy employee - you have no way of knowing since she has no references. Also if she hasn't nannied or evey babysat much she may incorrectly think that the way her kids did things is the "normal" way - this could be less of a risk if she has 3 or 4 kids but in my view could be high if she only has 1 or 2 kids. Pros - Cost, I suppose? What other benefit could there be in hiring someone with zero experience for the position you are looking to fill? Everyone starts somewhere but there is a reason those families take a risk on them. Personally I would not do this unless you cannot afford anyone with experience or at least you know her kids and her well enough to know she's done a great job with them and seems to view it as a professional position.
