Fab! We do not speak its name! We do not speak its name! Those are the rules! It is like GF!
at the double whammy (excuse the pun) encountered by the family! What if the kids had seen this?????????? OMG OMG OMG! Plus IMO she's at best naive, and at worst a lazy troll if she thinks she's being paid a wage to effectively go off on holiday herself. I believe the normal practice is to work the same hours and be paid a bit more for the stress of being out of the normal situation, not accept the money and then disappear off to get piste or get pissed, so to speak.
I did catch my brother in the AP's bed one morning many years back, but to be fair they were both 21 and nothing was actually going on at the time I walked in. I made a point of going in there with a cup of tea for him and saying 'Oh, there you are!' to be an annoying big sister and to worry the AP a bit. He always did like French girls, my brother.
WRT that place, I think they've more or less given up screening the applicants to see whether they're employable, and instead it's all about whether the children like them, do they get on with the children, etc etc. Frankly my kids would get on with more or less anyone, including the village paedo, so this is hardly a sole qualification for childcare professionalism. Yes, you don't want the kids recoiling from said person, but at the same time they need to be able to hold down a job and not fart about being a princess. I was considering writing to the Principal but frankly I am not sure I can be arsed to put them straight.
First interview was not brilliant but not all that bad - second interview better and we're having a think. Nobody available for a little while so that's a consideration.
