I run a lot of background checks for business -- the nanny doesn't seem to have a criminal record, so her alleged previous lawsuits against others wouldn't have shown up on the report.
It doesn't seem that the homeowners asked for 3 professional references and 3 personal references whom they could call prior to hiring the nanny -- that's standard for us.
For a live-in, the homeowners should have also asked for her previous landlord's name and called. They would have discovered if others had problems with her as a tenant (and learned that she didn't have a previous address aside from the shelter, which I'm not saying should have necessarily disqualified her from getting the job).
The parents took unnecessary risks here and didn't use a lot of common sense, IMO.

I wouldn't be surprised. I can see Kathy Bates as the rogue nanny.
