[quote=Anonymous]I'm currently trying to build up some occasional sitting jobs, so I've been applying a lot on care/sittercity. Lately I've found that several families are skipping passed pleasantries and asking immediately for meetings, references, etc. before even saying hello! I'll apply to the job, and the very first piece of correspondance I get back from them willl be one of the automated requests for references or a background check. I've considered that something more fishy may be going on, but nothing else about the postings seem to indicate a scam. I think it is probably driven by the fact that these families are looking for occasional sitters relatively soon, and so they're eager to lock someone in quickly and don't realize how these requests come across. So, I guess my question is how to delicately and politely say that I don't feel comfortable giving out so much personal information so soon in our conversations without outright killing the opportunity.[/quote]
