Except when the parents get audited from the IRS!

I wish I could know the psychiatric status of some crazy parents

Anyone can do background check, just put the tax ID number there. But just having good references is enough.

My friend used to use her tax ID for parents filling out taxes. The tax ID number is the only legal thing an undocumented person can have and work with. She paid her taxes every year without any help from the families. And she never got money back. Thanks to that she always paid her taxes she has papers and is doing better now

Don't even get me started on restricted social security numbers from J1 VISAs.

Yes, they are Infuriating.

Do you mean the au pairs who stay after their au pair year ends and try to work when they are not authorized to do so, or the rules themselves?

Very few nannies actually even use care.com, it is just not the place to look for a job. $25 is a minimum, like a bottom rate in this area, and many nannies will pass the job. It is still a nanny market out there. $18 is unheard of in my nanny world.

Use an agency- all the candidates will be seeking and expecting everything to be above board.
