[quote=Anonymous]No, I don't think it is a red flag that B isn't asking you about any job benefits as of yet. Perhaps she isn't expecting any, she may not have had them offered to her in past positions after all. Why not take the initiative & go ahead and offer them to her yourself upon hire?? She will be grateful unless you are hoping she won't ask so you can save a few dollar$...... Yes, it is quite odd that A's former Au Pair mother is not returning her calls. Huge red flag!! Either A was not a good Au Pair or perhaps A was never one to begin with. I was under the impression that Au Pairs were from other countries and usually left the States once they complete their work. Why can't A contact the agency she worked with?? I smell a rat and would discourage hiring her until you speak to a few people. B sounds fine, but my hunch is that she doesn't plan on working for you long-term. She probably really needs $$ right now so she will work for a lower rate until she can find something better paying along the way. I advise you to offer more than $10/HR in order to have access to a better pool of potential nanny candidates.[/quote]
