The source of the stranger is the most important.

. It's very risky. But I would still prefer a stranger than family. I have had helps from the North through people I know or got introduced to and luckily I haven't had any issue with any of them. When they get to your home, love them pieces, allow them call their family back home anytime they want to. Don't discriminate them from your kids and be extra vigilant the first few months. Set traps so you can see what they are up to. Be their friends big time. You can't bring a stranger to your home without proper monitoring till you are comfortable with them. It's risky but sometimes one doesn't have a choice.

Which family members? Those ones are usually more problematic than the strangers.

Strangers are better because tgey know they are rendering their services and you're paying them (with some other incentives). It's always ideal to be very cautious of who you wanna hire. Make sure you do some background check on them if necessary because Nigeria is not what it used to be.

Shalom!
