[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would find it a bit off putting if a family asked if + what medications I were taking. That is extremely confidential between myself & my M.D. Also if I were hiring a Nanny who was taking prescription medication for a mental illness, I would much prefer that over one who had a disorder and wasn't taking any medication for it. Just my two cents.[/quote] You'd be surprised how many people believe that anti-anxiety meds like Xanax, and opioids that are prescribed for pain are fine to drive on. I would also worry about a diabetic caring for children alone unless it had been under control for a long time. I don't know the sensitive way to ask about these issues, but you'd be asked if you were applying to drive a van or heavy equipment, handle money, or work with sensitive information. This is probably why a trial period of at least a month is advisable, though I always worry I'll lose candidates if I propose that.[/quote]
