I had an interview on Monday. Great people and little boy is a super chilled out guy. During the interview they asked me about a police check. I am super honest with everyone so I gave them the response I give everyone that police clearance certificates are out of date the minute you get them. I explained that it would cost me a fortune if every time someone called for an interview I paid for a new more up to date certificate, so I don't. I offered them like everyone else the option that I would have a check done at their expense but that it would belong to me as it is a personal document about me and that while they want to see that it is clear, it would ultimately belong to me. They were fine with this and also that my husband was also comfortable with this arrangement.
They called yesterday dinner time and I missed their call just having checked my messages now and they said they wanted to take the next steps to have their son join my daycare....
Now here is the thing. In the message she said that she trusts that I haven't committed a felony in the last 12months but would like to have the check done for my husband. Should I feel uncomfortable with this? It's not about them running the check on him as I was the one who offered it but the fact that they don't want an up to date police check done on the person who is alone with their child for 4 days/40 hours a week but want one for someone who is generally out of the house five days a week from 5am to 7 or 8pm and will likely not even be here during regular hours more than once a month or two. I just question this woman's thinking and wonder whether I am justified in thinking this way or if I should just get over it and not make something out of nothing???
