Do You Think Nannies and Au Pairs Should be Friends with Their Boss on Facebook?Even if you think your boss is a friend here are some things to think about before you send a Facebook friend request to your employer!
Go Right Ahead and Friend Your Boss on Facebook:
1. If you tend to lead your life like an open book and have no secrets that might jeopardize your job.
2. If you genuinely have a friendly relationship with your boss and like them a lot it may be fun to be friends on Facebook.
3. If you don't ever complain about your job, your employers, or the nanny profession.
4. As long as there are no photos of yourself hugging a bottle of tequila or involved in orgies then it's probably safe for your boss to see your profile and photos.

Don't Friend Your Boss on Facebook:
1. If you don't like your job or your boss.
2. If you and your boss have a strictly professional relationship, they may want to keep their personal and professional life separate. Save yourself an awkward situation and don't go out of your way to find your boss on Facebook.
3. If there is anything you want to keep secret and it's on Facebook.
One important thing to keep in mind: if you're not sure how the dynamic between you and your boss is going to play out, you might want to wait to send that friend request. The only thing more awkward than having your boss ignore your request and not friend you is having your boss discover you "unfriended" them later.
