Safety Concerns Finding Nanny Jobs on Social Media Web Sites
Do not post photos of other people’s children on Facebook. Respect your employer’s privacy. Don’t make comments about families you wouldn’t want them or future employer’s to hear.
Do not contact parents who might be future employers on Facebook. Be respectful of their time and privacy. If they want you to connect with them on Facebook, let them contact you, not the other way around.
Beware of scams. The Internet is a haven for shifty pyramid schemes and fake “work-at-home” jobs. Make sure an employer is legit before sending them any personal information.
Although we highly recommend searching for jobs on social media networks and even creating a web site for your nanny resume, always be thoughtful about what you post. Realize that there is a difference between what you and a potential employer might think is appropriate and what you might want your friends to see.
