[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm setting up an interview with a family. They asked me to bring a driver's license and a credit card bill so that can verify information for a background check. I'm not comfortable with that until an offer is made. Would you do it? [/quote]

It is not common to ask nanny candidates for information regarding how they handle money though it is common for household managers/personal assistants to make that kind of request. Your interviewer is wanting to know how you handle money because perhaps in their position they are planning on giving you a credit card and even access to their bank account. Also the employer wants to see how you handle responsibility like having credit to see how responsible you are. Yes it is invasive and personal to ask questions that really should not be anyone's business like credit reports but remember you are applying to work in someones personal home and with their most valued things, children and yes their money. You have every right to deny any information but in this industry it may not get you a position.

It is also OK to say you will provide personal information as the step before getting hired, I do not even give references contact information till there is an offer being extended.[/quote]
