[quote=Anonymous]I grew up very poor and missed a significant amount of school due to family instability. I have had to admit all sorts of awkward things to people. If they were kind it was much easier to be honest. I did learn to read but there were other things...

You must ask if she can read and not just kid books because the pediatrician will not give directions at a toddler level. Make sure your sincerity and kindness are clear even if you will have to let her go. Look up some some places that offer reading/writing workshops for English language learners and have that ready to give to her. Tell her that if at some later point she has completed some classes and is out of a job you would be ok with her checking back in to see how your childcare situation is going. Do things to let her know you are not judging her unworthy as a human being, just not yet qualified for the position.

DO NOT say or imply that she is a bad person because of her circumstances. I would not even judge her for applying for your position. Everyone has to eat.[/quote]
