kittywise I dont mean to be all judgy judgy but - I know that loads of people use facebook myspace etc etc and have their photos on them. I am hardly one to talk I have pics on here. But did she send this to you privatly if so is it really right to be posting a photo of her on here for everyone to gawp at??

LOL's Kitty,... Have you seen how many of them on APW & GAP have pics like this.. It doesn't bother me any more. I don't think they'll be looking twice at my DH

I think it's a nice photo, I'm sure she didn't choose it to look provocative! My little sister's au pair photo was one of her holding a huge glass of wine - I pointed out to her that it might give the wrong impression and she should perhaps use one of her with her mum or playing with children, but she'd chosen the wine one because she looked really nice in it. I don't think young girls are going to put much thought into choosing a photo that gives an impression of them as being sensible or good with children etc - they just pick one where they look nice!

Hmm - what are you going to want her to do? Is it heavy duty stuff or is it fun, playing with the kids stuff. She looks like she could be fun say, for a little girl to hang out with, but my gut instinct says 'no'. Sorry.

Guess it wouldn't do any harm. I'll send her THE questionnaire. That'll sort the wheat from the chaf

I think she is sending it because she looks pretty - although she does look worryingly (to a middle-aged mum like me) flirty and not sensible - I'd interview her and see what I thought.

she just looks pretty to me
maybe she just chose this one because she thought she looks her best in it?

it's not a bikini shot, as motherhurdicure said

erm, she is very pretty. maybe that was for her other job application and the pics got mixed up?

Special! Need I say more? Did she offer any additional services to lighten your load or just the child care?

Me thinks NOT!!
