I have 2 DC's, 4.8 years and 13 weeks. When DC1 was 8 months old I went to uni which meant he went into full time childcare. He was with an amazing childminder who I couldnt fault. But when he was 3 she stopped to have a baby so I found another one not thinking Id have any problems having had such a good experience with childminding. However it did not work out well. The next childminder was a cunt of the highest order who hurt my child on several occasions, he still has a scare on his eyebrow from her. He had a huge swollen ear where she banged his head on a lock which she failed to tell me about, even when I pulled her up on it. Took her half hour to call back and admit it. Cue me calling social services, the police involved her temporarily struck off while I was tearing myself up with guilt.
Nothing came of it. It was her word against mine and my sons and she got her job back after a month. Which I hate.
Roll on to now and I have a second child. I want to work March time but fret about childcare. So I want to childmind. I aspire to be like my first childminder and choose to do it so any child in my care will never, ever experience what my pfb did.
When it comes down to it, I want to explain this to potential employers, I want them to hear (maybe not in detail) my experience and how I aspire to be like the first CM. But no doubt they might ask who the second CM is, what with her still being in business in the same city.
So, AIBU to divulge who she is (id actually prefer NOT to give her name and just my experience) or should I just not mention any of the above?
