Name changed for this, and have changed some of the details to not associate with RL situation. Please dont "out" me 
Currently applied for a new position, within my working role, which would require me to need a childminder/nursery placement.
My cousin is in the process of becoming a registered childminder, and is looking at me, in the hope that if I am successful I will register my children with her. Now I have a few issues in this, and their is pros and cons to each of them.
Pros.
She is in walkable distance to school, and bus.
she is a good parent.
has excellent organisational skills. (except money)
would stimulate the children.
Cons.
Shes a friend/family
She is a good parent, however always putting her children first, ignores when their behavior is bad (scratching children's faces) so its a worry, to think that her children's behaviour will be ignored at my children's expense.
Her child watches alot of TV, children always fighting.
My child's health concerns.
shes a smoker, however not inside the house.
Also both of them are currently unemployed, and I think shes seeing me as a way out of their current situation (which is definitely not through choice for them).
