Can my friend's potential employers find out online that she was arrested for these two crimes, even though she wasn't convicted and that she used to call the cops on her husband for domestic disturbance (maybe even for beating her, I'm not sure)?

she was hired to baby sit a kid. The parents never showed up to her
house with the kid.
Therefore, she is wondering whether or not the parents were able to
find out certain information online about her. Such as, she used to
call the cops on her husband when they were living together (I think
because he assualted her?), so she thinks that maybe anybody can find
out online that her name and house are linked to domestic violence.
She was arrested, but never convicted for calling a gay man who
charged her father with a shovel the other F-word (a biased crime) and
she was arrested, but never convicted for shoplifting. She lives in
the state of New York, if that matters.
I would venture to say that the only way that anyone can find out
about the domestic disturbance calls would be by having personal
connections in law inforcement, no?
Thank you in advance.

Possible to find out online? Yes.
Likely? That would depend on the department ptuting that information
online.
Why did they not whow up? More than likely they had contacted a handfull of
others. Plans changed at the last second.

I'm surprised there was an arrest. Calling someone a name is an
insult, which is rarely grounds for an arrest.
If she had committed other acts, like actually threatening the
man, it's *possible* the insult could have been used to enhance the
charge.

While legally speaking an arrest doesn't mean much, it may be
enough to keep parents from wanting her to baby sit their child(ren).
There isn't a great deal to be done about that.

No. It's a part of public record. Some of the finer details may
not be available, but it's not too difficult to fill in the gaps.
If person A is arrested for a domestic, and person B is their
spouse, it's not to hard to guess who the alleged victim would be. If
the original police report states the spouse made the call, the name
could be removed, but easy to figure out.
Of course, it would list the spouse as the victim, so I can't
imagine parents refusing to allow someone to baby sit because the
sitter was the victim of a crime. Still, it is possible. And there
isn't anything she can do about it if the parents made this choice.
