[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here - just curious what the rationale for checking a nanny's credit is?  I am not sure what you learn that way.  Also if you use a big background check company, is a credit check part of the routine checks?  It's never occurred to me to ask for this before - and I always thought that too many credit checks can have a negative impact on someone's credit rating anyway.  Do big companies do credit checks before I boarding new employees?  Not looking for snarky responses - I am genuinely curious and hoping a family who requires this can offer some insight.[/quote]

Many companies will run credit checks on new employes as part of the hiring process. A company doesn't want to bring on an employee with financial problems just like they don't want to bring on someone with a criminal history. People with financial problems would be more likely to steal, embezzle, or cheat the company. But apparently nannies think this is crossing the line when someone is hiring you to stay in their home, unattended, for 5-10 hours a day. Also many nannies are entrusted with a debit card to be used to cover expenses while on duty. But to ask for reassurance that your potential nanny be financially mature and trustworthy is apparently egregious.[/quote]

Do you know if background check companies do credit checks routinely as part of the checks they do?  [/quote]

Routinely? No. They are unrelated checks.[/quote]
