I would ask for references, and since she mentions in her ad that she is "insured" I would ask her about that also. If she passes these preliminary tests I would request that she come to give me an estimate, and I would schedule it for 8am sharp....no later. If she shows up on time & looks considerably better than her mug shots & presents herself in a professional manner I might consider hiring her, but only under close supervision. Some people DO deserve a second chance.
However, I would not take the risk. Maybe someone will give a positive referral here?
