Parent requesting ID

[Suzie_Homemaker]

I've heard of this before but never experienced it.

I'd ask her outright, why she wants it. She's not your employer. She knows where you live and what your name is. Maybe someone has advised her to ask for it and she has no idea what she'd need it for but has asked anyway.

I wouldn't provide it. But I'd ask the question. If she's insistent or if her reasons are alarming, then I'd just take that as a red flag and let her know that this isn't going to be a good fit.

Ask her for ID herself and a police check since she's coming into your home on a daily basis.

I would say I am not comfortable with having people having a physical copy of such information. That she is welcome to see the ID. that she knows where you live, can confirm by looking at your ID That you are who you say you are and she has seen a police check. After that she just needs to trust her gut.

If she had any concerns later on she knows where you live. Having copies of ID Is of no benefit to her what so ever.

It was likely just a comment made by someone that made her think she should be asking for that. could have been a grandparent that said something to unnerve her about not even knowing who will care for her child etc. Doesnt mean she will be a difficult client (time will tell :-( )
