[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first time a family wanted to run a credit check, I asked why.  They explained that the previous nanny had (3 times) asked for a loan to pay unexpected bills. They fired her when she stole after being turned down for a fourth “loan” (she had made no attempt to repay the first three).  They were only interested in my debt to credit ratio and whether I was keeping up with payments.  I had zero problems furnishing my information for them.

I’ve had a couple families run checks since then.  There’s nothing damaging in my file.  If they’re filing the I-9 and W-4, they’ll have my information anyway.  I don’t see a downside.

To me, it’s the same as a drug test or background check.  It’s a basic precaution a family can take to try to ensure that the nanny is trustworthy.[/quote]

We have been asked by two nannies for financial assistance. One had an old car that was constantly breaking down, making her late for work. The other couldn’t make rent because her gambler husband had drained their account again. We provided the assistance but it changes the relationship going forward. [/quote]

That’s awful!  I can’t imagine our nanny ever doing this.  [/quote]
