[quote=Anonymous]Interviewing now and one candidate who we like told us she had a DUI 7 years ago.  Apparently she was in a serious accident, hence the criminal record.  Of course DH asked about current use and she said no, but it makes me nervous that she could be driving the kids and drinking because it didn't sound like a one time thing (ie: went out on New Years and had too much or something).  Of course the rational part of me realizes this could be true for *anyone* and in this situation we only know about it because she told us, which I give her a lot of credit for up front.  On one hand I don't want to hold a past mistake against someone but on the other I want to make sure my children are safe and this definitely gives me pause.  Part of the dilemma is that we do like her and we have met 3 or 4 candidates all of whom are fine but I haven't really felt wowed by anyone.  I think maybe it's because we're looking mid-year and my previous experience was that it seemed easier to find someone during the summer when school was out, people are moving, and long-term nannies are looking for new jobs.  Thoughts DCUM?  [/quote]
