You can not be a nanny employer if you need to ask:

Do I have to give the nanny references for myself?
Yes, you do.
If you don't want to, then don't ask her to give you any references either.
But how dumb would that be?

PP is confused, lol. MBs are the employers and should definitely require references. Nannies are employees and it isn't common or expected for MBs to provide references. They can choose to, and it might be important if there is a nanny they really want to employ, but considering how easy it is to find competent nannies, it isn't necessary. At all.

Ego issues? Why should you and your husband be trusted? Because you made a baby and you want a nanny? If you have no skeletons in your closet, why not share a couple of refs?

You missed the point. Not surprising.

The point is that not every nanny wants your job. Surprised?

You should feel safe about your caregiver, and your caregiver should feel safe about working in your house, which is usually an isolated enviornment for her (except for your tots, of course).

Ha! Very true. Lately, it seems like the nannies are fighting amongst themselves. I think the crazies have hit a new low. They don't have credibility with anyone not even their peers.

True. I think the weird influx of ISYN posters and FB groupies have magnified the crazy here.

It is that group from FB called Nanny Care Tribe. They have made posts making fun of the posters with Lori B. encouraging people to troll her for kicks. Loss class psycho broads. The scary thing is that THEY are actually watching children or at least half watching them and posting and bitching about their employees ALL Day LONG.

Because I have 20 people asking me for a job, and only one is asking me for references? Possibly because I am offering to pay you, and not the other way around?

Not surprised. But I also don't care if you don't want my job.

If your 20 applicants are anything like what I see most of you leaving your kids with, good luck to you. You get what you pay for, but let's keep that our little secret. When you get yourself a sitter, you deserve to have high quality for cheap. Why? Just because you're so extra special, anyone should feel honored to wipe your big a**.
Your standards are low. Maybe take some courses in childhood development and see if your warm body person will make do, without consequences down the road. Good luck with that.
Hint: That "one" applicant who is asking you for references is the one who has her choice of job offers. "How can that be?", you ask. She's the best one, obviously. Everyone wants her, everyone with a brain, that is.
