Potentially losing my neighbour a job

[facebookrecruit]

My neighbour is a right Royal pain in the arse but before I realised this I found out she is a massive attention seeker who fakes depression amongst other things (I'm not just guessing but it's a huge long story)
Any ways she advertises herself as a registered childcare provider on business cards in our local area. I've just made acquaintance with someone who is considering hiring her as a babysitter for her three DC one of which is a young baby with a health problem (neighbour has claimed she is experienced with poorly kids which is also a lie). Although I am 100% convinced she is not depressed she does take the 50mg tablets prescribed to her along with other heavy medication for 'chronic pain' another thing I also think is made up.
AIBU to tell this lady what I know before she trusts her with her kids? I don't want to sound like a bitch because I'm not keen on my neighbour but I wouldn't trust her with my much older DC never mind a baby

Elbekind. Wasn't 100% sure, to be honest, but when I was looking for one for my son, I did notice that all in the immediate vicinity WERE registered. Wouldn't pick one without, anyway! Good luck with new job!

Didn't read it all but im surprised that so many people are giving you hard time. If you are genuinely worried about the kids then i dont see any nastiness in you wanting to warn the mom. From what you said your neighbour seems to be lacking integrity, she's dishonest and lying. Is she a registered childminder, btw? I doubt it as Ofsted ispects them and surely lies would have been uncovered.

I too would like to warn the mom if i was you. But how to approach it without causing massive fallout with neighbour i dont know. Whatever you say might get back to her. Perhaps you can try to steer mom towards registered cm instead?

What Ditsy said - encourage the mother to check the qualifications. If you are right, then she can make her own decision.

You could call someone like a childcare place that inspects them maybe..but if someone had the slightest bit off doubt about someone who was looking after my baby girl I would want to no because if something happens to that child in her care because she is not qualified or not experienced or not well you would feel awful. I say tell her...good luck xx

Quick update: I needn't have worried as someone else has warned my new friend off. Now I'm just hoping my neighbour isn't going to spot me with her having coffee or something and blame me for outing her
