Hi :)
I was told to come to the forum by a good friend. She said that all of you lovely daycare providers, and parents may be able to help me out. I need your thoughts on something.
I am a shift worker, and I am currently looking to hire someone or to work with a dayhome for my four year old son. So I have put up an ad and most of the responses seem nice enough, and I seem to be getting an okay response. I received one from a lady who invited me to take a look at her Facebook profile......
Wellesy wellesy wellesy.... (Picture this said by Homer Simpson LOL)
She is going on and on about how a 5 year relationship with a douche-bag ended; and then she wrote a post on some website that is no longer available about how his twisted lies damaged her..Keep in mind people this is her speaking...
I understand that Facebook is yours and yours alone, but when you "invite someone" to take a look and this is what they see? I mean come on, get real!! A potential employer looking for a back up caregiver??
(I don't say sitter or nanny, because realistically its only needed when my husband and I work overnights or weekends at the same time, and I hate the word sitter, and I say employer because if I do not find a dayhome that wants to work with this, and I know most don't I will be technically this person's employer)
Would you call her?
Would you interview her?
Do you look up people on Facebook, when you want to for yourself to see what you can find?
I do not look up people on Facebook-- because for me if you saw my Facebook, but met me at work you'd be confused. (I am very serious, bucked down, and there to work) Facebook reflects my humor, and such....
That being said I am very careful about what I post, my privacy settings, and who I accept requests from. I even go as far as to have separate pages for friends and family.
So all in all wwyd?
