As suspected this "job" is not about baby sitting or a nanny position. The scammer will send you a stolen or forged check and ask you to deposit the check in you bank account. Once the fraud is discovered by your bank you will be held responsible for the full amount of the check and the scammer will have all of the merchandise that you sent.
