[quote=Anonymous]1.  Ask both parents to be references for you - explain the problem and ask that both respond to reference calls.  Give their cell and work phones.  Not that you are hiding it, but if they have different names it would be even better!  List them separately

Name 1:  mother's name, cell ph, work ph

Name 2:  father's name, cell ph, work ph

And I'd call and ask the parents you did babysit for and see if they would act as references.  You do need to call them, because after 5 years you need to remind them of who you are, and ask if they'll do it.

In your interviews with parents, I'd bring this up.  I worked for one family for 10 years, bringing them through the birth and growing up of 3 children, only leaving when their youngest entered kindergarten and they no longer needed a full time nanny.  I'm excited to start with a new family and baby!  I have lots of experience managing all 3 children's needs, as different as they were based on their ages and development.  However, I don't have multiple families as references, because I've worked for this one family for 10 years.  I have both parents down as references, and I hope you'll call both of them for different viewpoints on my skills.

I'd just take the bull by the horns - for some who want multiple references, others love the longevity and multiple age groups, etc! [/quote]
