[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do agree with PP that this nanny sounds pretty desperate for a job (minus the salary).  Taking clothes back to her place to do laundry, not having guaranteed hours, no paid holidays, sick time, vacation.  I don't know any professional nanny who would forfeit all of those.  Maybe she just wants a job and doesn't need the salary and just wants to stay busy , who knows.  But I would do a pretty thorough background check and check on references before hiring her.  She seems a little too good to be true.  [/quote]

OP again - she actually has a job currently where she does the child's laundry at her home in the evenings.  Our neighborhood is mixed apartments and condos and some apartments have washer/dryers in the apartments and others (like ours) don't.

I don't know if she needs the salary or not - how do you ever know that about any applicant?  As far as her references go, they were all excellent and she has a California approved fingerprint background check (I'm not home and I forget the name) since she has been a nanny for state foster children that was clean.

And I don't think 22 an hour is "too good to be true"!  The 22 an hour makes it VERY believable![/quote]
