[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is so true, about the health and safety issues. I'm feeling sick to my stomach. I feel like I'm putting my child in jeopardy. I'm going to ask her and if it is the case that she can't read or write, I will have to let her go. It's making me very anxious, but my child's care is my #1 priority.[/quote] If she says she can read and write, you should ask her to come over for a trial day. Have her fill out the tax and background forms in front of you and your husband. It will be obvious if she is telling the truth. I know how tempting it is to grab the first appealing candidate but this cannot be ignored. I have hired housekeepers who do not know English and I must always be sure to SHOW them everything and repeat, repeat, repeat instructions with visual aids. This is your child, not your laundry or personal possessions. You are very anxious because you know she cannot handle a new situation that requires reading and writing English. [/quote]
