Childminder with fake paperwork

I am going back to work and we have been interviewing millions of nannies, babysitters, paying visits to nursery and etc, than we found this childminder on a certain childcare website and just reading her profile we felt like choosing her. First time we payed her a visit we were sure she was the one for us and we have been meeting and visiting her constantly to settle our 2 month old and getting t know her and her child better and we have no doubts that she can provide the childcare that we want even though she became a childminde recently and our child will be her first mindee (she is a former nursery teacher and babysitter). But there is one little thing...She is renting and her landlord refused to give her permission to childmind in the flat. Her child is starting school now and she does not want another job as she wants to take her of him. She is desperate to move out but got no money for deposit and firts month rent upfront so she faked a pemission letter from her landlord and will childmind whitout his permission until she got enough money to move out. She was honest about this first time I called her to enquire..So, what to do now...

Could you ask her to register as a home childcarer for you?

information on childminders

that way she can work at your house and you can still use tax credits or vouchers as she is registered with ofsted still

The other option is to allow her to work without permission which is likely to mean her insurance is invalid and you could end up up the creek without a paddle if her landlord ever finds out because even with a contract he could still refuse and she may jeopardise her tenancy and deposit by doing it.
