online research

"she's a nanny that doesn't like kids" I immediately research my prospective clients to see if they're a good fit. Today I received a referral (second one in four days- loves it) for a job in the 425. I immediately Googled the individual and came up with not only their LinkedIn profile but a social network profile and an additional personal url with personal pictures (yikes). Pretty much all the important initial information I need has been noted, recorded in my brain... It's great to get this all out of the way, without having to make a full (stressful) trip into a new person's world.
On a side note: I'm not too fond of working full time in the 425 (those of you living in Seattle will understand) ~too many Todd and Jennies running around. My apologies to future clients on the East side
