You can stop the trolling now.

NP here (really!) and while I agree with most of what I think were your points, it is very common in England for nannies to present written references when applying for a new position. It is also, of course, standard for them to provide contact information for follow ups, but written references are expected. Experienced nannies wind up with a folder full of them. I used mine when I relocated and according to my references the presentation of the letters helped my new bosses narrow in on their questioning and pick out key points to address, shortening the call (which they appreciated). I don't think it's crazy to expect them (I include in my contract that a new one is written every 6 months) but of course they're no substitute for actually SPEAKING to a reference.[/quote]

I'm the poster you are quoting and I only posted once, so I'm not sure what points you are referring to. You also misunderstood my post.

My only point is that this discussion is absurd because most employers will not give a nanny a reference for themselves. Of course, employers will expected a nanny candidate to provide references, but it silly for a nanny candidate to expect a reference from the potential employer. [/quote]

You're right, I missed that crazy argument that parents provide references to nanny candidates. Mea culpa.[/quote]
