Remember the nanny I used to have?

Remember the nanny share I was part of?  That was my first childcare dilemma.  The one who quit because she refused to provide her I-9/proof of eligibility to work in the US paperwork?  Well, subsequently, it turns out the id# was using was invalid (my accountant found that out when we were filing our taxes), and the SSN # she then provided was also invalid.  I believe she has now been deported...  So people, make sure your nannies are legal!

    Not to be a hag or anything but there are plenty of people who knowingly use undocumented workers for many tasks in their homes. I'm not sure its something to preach to the heavens about. There's a reason you chose her over, say, someone else who was more money - no? You trusted her with your kids, you trusted her ability, you trusted that your children were in safe hands - no? There likely were numerous reasons you allowed her, specifically over others, to care for your children.

    I'm not an advocate of "going around the system" but I'm also not sure that "MAKE SURE YOUR NANNIES ARE LEGAL" is really necessary advice.

    Just a thought.

    I could not disagree more. There are many criteria for choosing a childcare provider (or any other household employee, for that matter), and making sure they are a legal, documented worker is among the most important.

    I curious why is that among the MOST important? I'm not trying to start anything other than an open, respectful discussion. You needn't feel obligated to reply, I'm just curious as to opinions.

    It's important to me because I don't want to get hit with fines, etc., we use FSA money, and I don't want to abruptly lose my childcare provider if she runs into ICE issues.

    Because it's against federal law to provide employment to an illegal alien. I'm not sure much other reasoning is needed. But I'm a rule-follower by nature, and I also come to a complete stop at stop signs.

    Employing an illegal alien, aside from being against federal law, actually would compromise my husband's security clearance and employment.  That's actually how she likely got deported.  We had to report that she would not comply with federal law and submit her I-9 information.  It's also problematic because you need to submit social security payments for your domestic employees, and if they are not legal, then that money is not going anywhere. 

    And in truth, we chose her because she was available.  After being on several day care center waiting lists for a year, we got off of none of them.  This nanny share came along, and we were desperate.  After we learned our lesson, we discovered that there are a lot of illegal nannies (in our area), and the other nanny share partners had no idea, even some whose employment would also be compromised by hiring an illegal alien.

    To dovetail with the other point, though, it's among one of the most important because you simply wouldn't want to be waiting for your childcare to show up one morning and have them never come because they had been deported.
