[quote=Anonymous]OP, you should post this in the thread for DC - Nanny Search (just scroll down the list of threads on the main forum board here.)

Disregard the troll obviously, but the pp nanny is right - don't ask for references until you're in final discussions w/ a nanny.  Once you're on the other side of this (the former employer giving a reference) you will understand why, but a reference that is happy to be called once or twice will be much less happy if they get a call from every single job for which a nanny might apply.

You can and should ask for a good resume, or work history, that can show you the extent of a candidate's experience (including age ranges they are experienced with)  and the tenure they've had in positions.  That's a good starting request.

Also, be sure to post on your neighborhood listserv - the best referrals/candidates I've gotten have always been from other families.  And you might find a share w/ an opening that could work for you.

Good luck.
