Unpaid But Inexperienced Helper?

My son is my assistant. He's 27 and not married. He enjoys the kids and is wonderful with them. But I guess that some people see that as instant "perv".
Very sad.
I feel my day care is better because I have a man here. The boys in our care love having a guy to talk to...to throw a football with. Many of our kids don't have a good male role model in their lives. It's good for them to see a good upstanding young man.
We are a family group day care in every sense of the word. Males are part of families too. Males help raise children. Males are teachers and nurses.
Have I had a few parents turn their noses up at me having a man here? Sure...and I show them the door as soon as they say it. Their small-minded loss.- Flag

I would set up an interview at a coffee shop or some place other than my house. I would meet with the boy and treat him as I would any other person that I would interview.
I would make up some questions to ask and then ask the guy if he would be willing to pay for his own finger prints and background check, as well as ask for at least 2 personal references and 1 employer reference.
I have had several volunteers from the high school both guys and girls work with me so that they could get the volunteer hours necessary in order to graduate.
I will say this, the 2 guys that i have had help out have been way more hands on and into working than all 4 of the girls that have helped.
I say go for it!!! I get people calling me all the time asking if I am hiring and I have never placed an ad looking for help.- Flag
