I hope you sue the pants off the toxic morons who tried to ruin your life. <BR/>Remember this for the future--if you have a less-than-perfect "skeleton" in your past, the best policy is to be honest about it with the agency. Tell them right away, because they will find out after they do a backround check anyway. And if you don't use an agency, most employers will do a backround check on you at some point themselves. And all they need is your name and birthdate to do it.<BR/>You'd be surprised at how many agencies and prospective employers will be impressed by your honesty and understanding about the fact that you made a mistake when you were very young. Imagine working for a kind, honest employer (without a single gun in the house!) who already knows about your little "secret" and doesn't mind...because you're a GOOD NANNY. And that is what really matters. <BR/>Don't let any of this make you feel ashamed. Nobody's perfect, and the "Playboy magazine" family had NO RIGHT to treat you so horribly. I hope you take a nice long vacation (and buy yourself a house while you're at it!) with the money you earn from the lawsuit against them!<BR/>Best of luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-2743664728133858792007-03-07T12:53:00.000-05:002007-03-07T12:53:00.000-05:00WhoaWhoaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-82365583313424465572007-02-28T12:41:00.000-05:002007-02-28T12:41:00.000-05:00The only thing more low class than an employer goi...The only thing more low class than an employer going on Craigs list and spreading venom about some hapless former nanny would be...<BR/>well no,<BR/>that's it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-15602762713053484562007-02-28T12:37:00.000-05:002007-02-28T12:37:00.000-05:00To 6:55 am, I assume you mean the low class employ...To 6:55 am, I assume you mean the low class employer!

We can learn from it. I have a nanny and found her on CL.org and she is terrific. She had skeletons on her closet, but nothing that would jeopardize our child. Hey everyone makes mistakes. She has been with us for 2 1/2 years. Thank you craigslist and a fyi to parents and employers, never try to ruin a reputation of anyone. That is just so childish. This woman who has done this to her previous nanny must have some sort of mental issue. SHE NEEDS HELP. <BR/><BR/>I hope that the child doesn't grow up with that woman around. She will set poor examples for him because she sounds like a troubled mother. Very troubled.<BR/>And the fact that she will be sued, well that speaks for itself. She deserves it for breaking the law.

I cannot believe that a parent or employer would do ALL OF THIS to a nanny b/c she quit and decided to prey upon this person by damaging their reputation.

Standing up for your rights<BR/>2. Moving on with another job<BR/>3. Forgiving them in your heart<BR/>4. Letting others know what happened to you, because it could happen to them. <BR/><BR/>The entire "BACKGROUND CHECK" thing is totally available to anyone in the State of Maryland for free, if you have internet access to www.mdcourts.gov. All you need is the person's first and last name. It's all there for free. It may be helpful to know the person's middle initial or middle name or date of birth in case there are several "Jane Doe" 's in the area the person lives in. Stop talking about the issue! And for nanny agencies, some may be good but the ones I have used, were terrible. They could not find a job for me. I went through four agencies. Why not try craigslist? Go read the success stories. <BR/><BR/>I found out that the 'mother figure' pays rent in the home she lives in b/c the father simply wants her in the house for the sole purpose of having the child's mother figure available... She pays rent! So, according to her amount of money she makes (not much), it all goes to her rent and cigarettes. So when that mother figure typed above on this site that she questioned "How do you think they could afford you?" She wasn't paying the nanny. The father was.

Anytime of the day or night. All for 50 bucks. Results within 24 hours. And even if the person hasn't done anything wrong or doesn't have any skeletons, there is enough personal information listed on background checks to give someone a whole lot of leeway to ruin your life. This should BE ILLEGAL. You don't need a social security #, you don't even need a birthdate. An approximate age is good enough. I kid you not.<BR/><BR/>If this scares you, we should all be very concerned.

I skimmed...I'm not a nanny, and I feel bad for you. I skimmed through everyone's comments, and I am taking your side.<BR/><BR/>I was hired recently by a family who didn't bother to look at my resume or credentials. It was only babysitting at first that turned into a three day a week position. Like your situation, the eldest child was not potty trained and had control of the house. I felt like I had more control of the home my three days there than the mother had 24/7. I left the position and have interviewed for a few positions since that time. <BR/><BR/>There are some things you can do:<BR/><BR/>DON'T GIVE UP! If you want to nanny, the perfect family will come to you when you least expect it, welcoming you with open arms. They will love and embrace you, and treat you with respect.<BR/><BR/>"Interview" the family. There is a website that had questions you can ask the family during the interview. Perhaps this will assist you in finding a better position. Do a Yahoo search and look for nanny websites that have such questions available.<BR/><BR/>Get references from the family. Ask if they have had previous nannies. If they haven't, don't feel bad about asking for a reference from a friend, or someone that knows them. <BR/><BR/>Use your instincts. I went to an interview where the father was using a rather loud voice with a three year old. I kept watching the father's body language and his tone of voice. It was inappropriate, and I was happy I didn't get the job, because I didn't want it anyway, after I saw how the father reacted to the older child. <BR/><BR/>FYI: By doing a Yahoo search, all 50 states have a court record page that has any type of court activity. All you need to check someone's court records is a name and birthdate, along with county the activity occured. A statewide search is also available.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what you can do otherwise then what I have suggested, and I understand what you are going through. I'm sure you are a great nanny looking for a great job, and you will find it! Keep your head up and be strong!!!<BR/><BR/>And finally:<BR/><BR/>Not everyone who advertises on Craigslist is a bad nanny or family. An agency once told me that nannies/families who advertise on the Net or newspaper aren't good nannies/families and this is not true. Sometimes agencies screw nannies over, or the finders fee is too high for the family. Also, sometimes agencies place less than professional nannies in the families home, leaving a bad impression with the family regarding an agency. Agencies also tend to shove nannies/families down each other's throats. I know of a few families that have used agencies where the agency was less than professional, therefore, the family advertised on their own. My point is, when you see a nanny or family posting on Craigslist or another website, don't think they are a bad nanny/family. If you don't know them, you can't say anything bad about them!<BR/><BR/>And last but not least:<BR/><BR/>To the woman who did this to you, I hope you break a nail from all the typing you are doing and get a bad dye job, because you are mean!<BR/><BR/>I said what I had to say...*giving the nanny a big hug*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-38893088811595881692007-02-27T15:53:00.000-05:002007-02-27T15:53:00.000-05:00to the OP: go sister!

It happens to be my life. <BR/><BR/>Also, an update on this employer (mother figure), I have been receiving so much JUNK EMAIL in my email account from different weight issue websites. <BR/>Funny how you can contact the website with a subpoena and get the IP ADDRESS OF THE PERSON WHO "SIGNED YOU UP". <BR/><BR/>And not to make anyone feel sorry for me, but I am bulimic and "mother figure" didn't know this.

So therefore, this whole civil suit I am filing is a lengthy process, but in the end, I will win. In a way, I've already won because I've moved on and learned so much from this.
