My friend has recently graduated with a Early years education degree in London and has decided she would like to become a nanny. The only problem is- she has a very minor disability.
She has very minor cerebral palsy (sorry if I have misspelt, relying on auto correct). Can walk fine etc, pick things up, do day to day chores etc. The only restriction she has- is she has an adapted car licence.
She actually came to me for advice on the situation as I have been on both sides of the table- I have worked as one myself, and also hired them.
She fears as soon as she mentions a disability she won't have a chance of getting a job no matter how much she stresses how minor it is.
I gave her my honest opinion which was that I did not know- what do others think?
She has also told me she is debating just lying about the fact of having a driving licence as that will be the only glaring obvious factor (her licence is marked that she needs an altered acceleration system in the car) but I told her I think that's wrong- again, what do people think?
