Alert ・ Child abuse by Japanese nanny

Hello everyone. This is a reminder ⚠ ️

A case of child abuse by a Japanese nanny has been reported. This is a case of neglect and verbal and attitudinal violence. The sitter was immediately dismissed from the home where the case was discovered, but it is expected that another sitter will be found soon, and there is at least one other home where the sitter is still working at this time, in addition to the one where the case was dismissed. Please be sure to always, always ask for ID when looking for a sitter, as there is a possibility that they may change their name. The same goes for anyone you know, no matter how well you know them or how close they are to you. The social worker who consulted with us on this case told us that in addition to ID verification, other preventative measures against such situations include hiring through Agencies, hiring sitter license holders, screening online before hiring, and hiring through recommendations from trusted references in the case of private contracts. They are also able to use the following methods.

This sitter had a good impression ・ from neighbors and parents, and it was difficult to tell what was really going on, especially in the early days, and the children missed her a lot.

Please contact me if you have any questions, as I do not want to give any information that could lead to personal identification here. By the way, this sitter contacted us through a message board called MixB, and we have also confirmed instances of the use of "New York message boards" in the past.
