[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A nanny's credit has nothing to do with her ability to care for your child. It is none of your business.

While I agree with you in principle, I can understand families wanting to have this information because the nanny will have unmonitored access to sensitive financial information and, if she were in deep debt, she might be tempted to steal. Considering how many nannies here have admitted to snooping on their employers, it certainly sounds like a reasonable concern for some families.

FWIW, every professional job I have ever had has required both a background and credit check and refusing to sign off for one was grounds not to be hired. The theory is the risk of stealing if debts are high. I don't like it, and I don't control the budget for my department, but since I wanted the job, I consented.

I'd prefer it if credit checks were banned though, because I believe if people were of the character to steal, they would steal, regardless of their credit score and people with poor credit who have morals and ethics would never steal under any circumstances.[/quote]

Our biggest banks (bankers) are some of our worst criminals, but our "justice" system refuses to send them to jail where they belong. So if your employers are in the banking/financial sector, they may very well be engaged in "unethical" business practices. We should get a copy of THEIR credit report, to say the least.[/quote]
