[quote=Anonymous]Not only did I assume references would call the nanny candidate and talk about me, OP, but frankly, I'd be more concerned about a nanny who *didn't* have a reference who called her back to discuss her impressions of me and my job. That would tell me that the nanny wasn't good enough for her former MBs to have her back. As for verifying compensation, while it is extremely common in most professional jobs, I don't think it's necessary in the nanny world. When I hired a nanny I researched the market rates in my area and made a competitive offer. I don't think what the candidate made before has any bearing on the present nanny job. There aren't many innovations in the field. A few candidates tried to negotiate for perks and money, but I was clear about what I was looking for. We found a great nanny we value highly.[/quote]
