[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never asked a nanny candidate to submit to a credit check, but I absolutely think that a person's credit history provides valuable information about how good his or her judgment is.  A history of running up credit card debt that one cannot afford to pay off indicates an impulsive personality and poor planning skills, both of which reflect badly on how good a nanny the person will be.

I may need to start requesting credit checks.[/quote]

I've reached the same conclusion. All the people arguing against credit checks for nannies seem to be nannies with horrible credit! When I'm choosing between 4 different people I would really love to be able to consider a nannies credit history.[/quote]

I never dreamed of doing a credit check until I read this story about a much-trusted nanny stealing from her employer. Granted, i would never give out a debit or pin number, but we do not lock up our valuables or personal papers on a daily basis.  http://nymag.com/nymetro/urban/family/features/9527/[/quote]
