      When I was a nanny the mom would go out of town for work a lot. EVERY time she would ask me if I could be trusted around her husband..EVERY freaking time. Finally, after about a year of working for them I told her no, I would probably jump his bones the moment she left. She knew me very well by then and laughed. However, she still continued to ask. I just pacified her and reassured her.

      I would say your better off without her kids.

          I emailed her, asked her kindly to remove my photos, and wished her the best of luck in her search for childcare with a link to CCR&R.

            What kind of insecure, crazy person is this? I feel like I dodged a bullet, but I also want to do something snarky in the email reply to her. I was considering adding the photo she posted as an attachment.
            Yeah, I saw that movie. But it was about high school girls who where babysitters, NOT family child care providers. And at the end the head babysitter/Madame kinda got what she deserved in the end (one of her 'girls' had her dad as a client).

            If that was on FB or a public website I would contact the people and say she is slandering you and your business. But make sure that she doesn't just un tag you but the picture is completely gone too, and let them know if she does it again you want her account deleted or you will take legal action against the website (if possible). If possible get a restraining order against her because this chick is immature, possibly crazy and dangerous. And she must be very insecure in not only her looks but her marriage if she thinks that

              There was times when I was a regular sitter/nanny for a family and the dad was home when I would watch the kids. He's a college professor, so he has lots of papers to grade (he would actually complain about the paper would and said he was considering another career). Nothing ever happened and the mom never asked questions or never acted jealous or anything (at least not in front of me). I think the more secure you are in your relationship the less you doubt your partners fidelity.

              ... Or it could just mean she thought I was ugly? :confused:

                I'd say "Well it's a great thing we didn't actually meet then, as I am way better looking IN PERSON!" LOL (not really but it'd be tempting!)


                I'd really say something like: "Well, I'm sorry you feel that my looks should have any bearing on how I take care of your child, and I'm sorry that you trust your husband so little that you think my looks have any bearing on how he will behave in a business arrangement. It is obvious that you have some insecurities in your marriage I suggest you work out with him before taking your child ANYWHERE since I'm sure you won't want to be going to work when you need to use that time for snooping on him and everyone he knows. Obviously this is a huge issue for you and no offense, but I am offended that you think your dcp is out to sleep with your husband. What makes you think *I* would even be interested in something so ridiculous?! You may not give HIM credit, but sheyatttt, give the person you would trust your child's LIFE with some credit here!'

                    :: I hope I never see them out, I wouldn't recognize the dcd and have only seen the Mom from photos.

                    My picture is down, my dcm double checked this morning. Now dcm calls me a homewrecker. She's a trip. :: lovethis

                      ...Betcha it was the 2007 movie "The Babysitters"(and how crazy of a reference-- It is about teenagers(which apparently shows her mentality)).

                          Dear DCD,

                          So sorry things did not work out for your child's care. I wanted to let you know I have a strong divorced or divorcing parents contract if you should ever find yourself in need of care during your parenting time. Best of luck to you.

                          Sincerely,
                          Your almost Provider

                            You did dodge a bullet. I can't believe someone would actually say that to people, let alone document it on a public forum. Yes she is in a bad marriage. Be grateful she canceled, and I would have left it alone. As providers we never know how nutty people can get.

                            I would also remove photos of myself etc. from those sites. It's really not internet stalking when everyone is posting and putting pics up. Once you do that FB and anyone can get a hold of it and pass it around. I wish more people would understand how FB is NOT private.

                            Why so many debt collectors use these sites. They get all the info. they need from the client or their friends or relatives.
