[quote=Anonymous][quote]MB here. I want to speak directly with former employers. I don't completely disregard letters of reference but I don't consider them in any way sufficient. There is no substitute for talking directly with another mother in my opinion. I've also written letters of reference and what I don't say in them is as important as what I do say. So a prospective employer who calls me for a reference will get a great deal more information than could ever be put in a letter. Also, the myriad things that influence "fit" cannot be captured in a reference letter. Someone else's nanny who wasn't a great fit might be perfect for us, and vice versa, but you can only discern information like that from a conversation (assuming you ask the right questions).[/quote] +100.[/quote]
