Oh really??

You were so gung-ho on hiring her before all these people started advising you not to hire her because they scared you into thinking her husband would show up at your house and you would be putting your kids in danger, etc.

Please OP, be honest and upfront with us all. Keep it real.

And for the love of God.

Do not blame the victim.[/quote]

I'm not blaming the victim, so no need for you to make that assumption.

We found someone who lives literally five minutes from us and has GREAT flexibility for last minute, short term sitting like "we need to run kid to doctor, can you swing by for 30 minutes?" kind of stuff.  That's a need in our life that has been lacking as we don't have many nearby people we can rely on, and I know it's really inconvenient to drive for 20/30 minutes for an hour long job.  Five minutes away, though, not a big deal.  New candidate is also looking for something for at least 18-24+ months while she finishes a degree, versus a potentially shorter term.  She also sounded a lot like our really excellent, four year plus nanny who was essentially on a similar career/education path and stayed with us for quite a while as she made her way through school.

So yes, totally different reasons.  We are still hoping to work with the first candidate as a regular tutor so it's not like we're trying to hide from her.[/quote]
