Part 2 of our Social Media Series:
Most nannies out there have been in this situation…..the friend request from an employer. What to do?

Sources online are unanimous in saying that accepting a friend request from your boss is not a good idea.

If you do want to accept the request, see here for guidelines to making your Facebook and online presence “Boss Friendly.”
