Sitters.co.uk - have you worked for them as a babysitter? I have a question!

I’ve used Sitters a lot over the years, and have just put a booking request out. I’ve had a response and I’m almost certain it’s someone I know, but difficult to tell from the picture. The question is - when you’re offered a booking as a babysitter, how much info do you get given about the family? Do you get the name of the person making the booking? Just trying to establish if the sitter knows it’s me or not, as I don’t want to end up in a potentially embarrassing situation for her if she doesn’t. I’d be happy to have her, but only if she knows it’s me!

I worked till about 10 years ago and didn't have to supply a photo of myself anyway then so this situation wouldn't have arisen. I'm pretty sure I would've been sent the first name and surname of the client and the address but only when I had accepted the place. Why do you think it would be embarrassing for her? People do it for all sorts of reasons. I found the staff at sitters respond very very quickly to emails so you could just ask them?
