[quote=Anonymous]I think it was terrible for the current family to call your old family and tell them. Each family should form their own opinions and save them for when they get a reference request.

I have done some reference checks that were glowing but the nannies were either so so or terrible. I did not call the old families back and tell them so. I wondered how in the world would they think this nanny is so good or even fine but I know that through the nanny they have certain issues (health, divorce) so perhaps having the best nanny was not the top priority. I feel bad for their kids but I think they are doing the best they can. In no circumstance, do I call them back and tell what a bad job the nanny has been doing and how terrible she is.

I think the fact that your current family called your reference shows that they are really weird and out of line. You have that going for you and you should speak to your reference family, give specific examples on things that happened that show the family is a bad fit (generalities do not work in this case) and hope for the best. You can also ask if you would get a positive reference you gave their name out in the future.[/quote]
