No way! I've worked for agenceys and i can tell you how easily anyone could get work there. Seriously, i went in expecting an interview and was signed up immediatley, and espite all my background and experince and qualifications, they hadn't even opened my resume before beginning the sign up process.
Police checks dont mean anything, ss long as the police have never caught and charged a person with something they can easily get a police check.
For the first 4 1/2 years of Ashlea's life I had no family at all around me and had no help either but no way ever would i let someone look after my child that i didn't know.
My opinion is this (and yes i've over the top protective like Nat) if anything happened to ashlea and it was me that put her in that position, I would NEVER forgive myself.
When I was nannying I used to meet the parents 10 minutes before they'd leave for the night and think how the hell are they trusting me with their child like that? I was a mother then too, Ash used to stay home with her dad whileI worked and I just couldnt bare the idea that she'd be left with a stranger like the kids i was looking after
But, thats me and my opinion
