[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. I talk with families at least twice before I give out my references. By that time, they should have plenty of details about each position. My resume and cover letter give more details about each position, and the reference list (no contact information on the resume, that way I can send out the resume with each application, but retain control of who contacts references) has a summary for each position. I note pay period and method of payment, schedule, children's ages and any special details on the reference list. Some parents call and spend less than 10 minutes talking to my references, but others spend about an hour, and I guarantee that they would have easily found out if it was a fake during that time period. If nannies give enough information, it's easy for prospective employers to judge whether the reference is real. And that doesn't touch on checking online for information about the reference.[/quote]
