[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again.  And lose the attitude.  The potential employers are untrusting you with the life of their child.  That in no way makes you a second class citizen.  All childcare providers should be fingerprinted and background checked.  For the most part you will be caring for and responsible for the life of a nonverbal, helpless child.  You are neither nonverbal nor helpless nor a child.  You can take care of yourself so there is no quid pro quo.  [/quote]

I think you meant entrusting! 
No problem with my credit, sorry you assumed that, rather than understanding it's an invasion of privacy and not relatable to childcare. Anything else is warranted! My point was that backgrounds are one sided. You may want to read the other posts on this platform of how many nannies don't get paid!
It seems you are incapable of reading exactly what was posted and went off on a personal tangent. I have been a nanny many years and with last family 10, TEN years with multiply babies. I also have a Masters in Education and other certifications. 
No attitude here except your condesending one, which was completely uncalled for but I'm sure you feel better demoralizing another....... anonymously. How sad and nastily rude!
But if your do want to stick it to someone at least learn how to spell or you just look stupid and invalid. :oops: [/quote]

I agree with you OP. Nanny's have no HR department where there is equal policy for all, like my company, the requirements are the same whether you're management or mail room. Its really common sense that a credit report is not necessary when finances are not a requirement for employment. I don't need to know our nanny's credit issues, if any, and I don't want her knowing ours, so that is fair. I want to know her driving record and any criminal violation and child preditory issues, SS and residence verification and then obviously references and anything that impacts our children.
I looked at the reviews and was shocked at the number of complaints for Care and Sittercity, I don't think parents and nannys look at reviews first, which obviously would be a good idea. We used an agency, I asked our nanny and she said that they are all the same and agreed that they favor the family unit, even though both parties pay for access. So that does not seem right. This is an open forum so you have informed others about these companies.
The vitriol that some people display and in this case another nanny who responded to you, is disgraceful, but your rebuttal is one of the best. Anyone who has been employed by one family for ten years does not need to be told about the trust of a life of any child, you obviously know and have executed that, but the scorn, behavior and personality of the respondent is not what I would want around my children. Be kind even if you don't agree.[/quote]
