Alright so almost 3 years ago shortly after I was hired at the daycare I work at now, I was convicted and charged with a misdemeanor larceny charge in the state of NC which is where I'm working at now. At the time I was barely 19 and an incident occurred where I forgot to scan an item left in my top buggy area. The people at the store accused me of purposely stealing, and the police officer who showed up just so happened to be related to my mom. Who he hates. So he made this big deal about it wouldn't let me explain that it was an accident. And then I was stupid and naive and thought I didn't need a lawyer I could simply explain what happened to the judge. Needless to say it didn't work out that way. The judge said I was guilty of misdemeanor larceny and that was that. Couldn't do anything about it.
My boss knows she knew the day after it happened I told her and she said I should be fine. I'm great at my job. I am amazing with the kids and I love it. I don't want this one mistake to define me. I'm freaking out because my background check is due in a couple of months (in NC we have it every 3 years) I have a complete clean record other than that incident. Don't even have a traffic violation. Will this keep me from passing the background check in North Carolina. Will a misdemeanor larceny charge cause a problem? What should I do? should I send a letter with my background check explaining what happened?
