[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are about o hire out first nanny. She is set to start at the beginning of next month. We REALLY like her. After interviewing several candidates, L just really stood out from the rest. She engaged with our son. She has credentials and experience to back up her vocation. I could not wait for her to start. Unfortunately, while we wait she was getting screened through the agency and we received an email saying that her drug screen tested positive for marijuana. Supposedly she was over at a friend’s house who cooks with CBD oil and that’s how the traces of the drug got into her system. This sounds like a stretch to me. Anyways, I am not sure how to proceed. My husband said we should still hire her, BUT since she would be driving our child around, I don’t want her judgment to be impaired. What would you do if you were in my position ? I was beyond excited to have her start. There was a genuine love and compassion in her that I knew would make her an amazing nanny. At the same time recent studies show that marijuana can impair one’s judgment. I don’t know how much of it she uses We have friends who use recreationally and have their life together BUT they are childless and I’d never let them babysit my child. So, while I don’t care that they smoke, if someone *is* watching my child, then I do care. The stipulation we are thinking of doing is having her test again in about two weeks and re-test for a drug screen a random after she starts-within 30 days of starting. . But I am not sure if we should do this either. —this would be in her contract, so it’s not like we’d surprise her with it. The agency will email her informing her of our stipulation to see if she is willing to do it. [/quote] She sounds like fun! Would you hire your friends who use in on a "recreational" basis? She's young, didn't think of "purging" before the test. Remember another thing: "taking care of kids, in general, impairs one's judgement," but our kids survive. [/quote]
