[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone had an issue with an au pair giving a fake reference? We just had a candidate torch herself by making up an email address for her reference (and it was extremely obvious that it was her, especially when she claimed the phone number for the preschool listed on the website didn't work anymore--plus the preschool had a different email address listed than the one she gave us, and the one she gave us was linked to her iPhone). Worst part of it was that I actually did contact some people from the preschool through facebook and they had really nice things to say about her. So lying was just completely unnecessary.

A previous candidate tried to get out of having us talk to her reference telling us that the reference didn't speak English (nevermind that I'd been speaking to the candidate in her native language for weeks...).

It's been frustrating to try to find candidates that don't actively lie to us and actually seem interested in cultural exchange. We can find one or the other but not both... At least the agency got on the situation right away and took it very seriously, but I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have a good level of fluency in that language.[/quote]
