Dear Jeff:

As I wait to look for some part time contract work here I noticed that staff were looking after a little boy & girl whose mom & dad have accidentally left them unattended. While looking IV work can be quite stressful, & having small kids come inII the employment centre can be chaotic, its important that the staff be free II served the clientele looking IV work. While the II lady staff members obviously are enjoying the babysitting task, its not their job. They are being paid to help folks looking IV work & make proper use of job bank & other job resources & learning tools. At least one parent should stick with the kids or if a parent is alone, maybe bring along a grandparent or trusted family friend, say one with babysitting credentials.

Child Advocacy Prime,

Rory
