That doesn't make any sense unless you're job hopping like crazy.

Only give out reference details to jobs you are serious about.
If you had 9 offers, which ones were you serious about? You clearly couldn't take all 9. So you pick the 2 or maybe even 3 that you are serious about and give those people references. And if they are going to be contacting someone you have not spoken to in quite a while a quick email or text heads up is a very nice thing to do.

If I got 20 calls for some one who worked for me 2.5 years ago, I would be annoyed too. And all those calls are coming in clusters, when you're on an interview blitz.
You should only give out your references after the first round of interviews to the families you are genuinely interested in working with. 9 families? That's way too many to be honestly considering at once. Surely there were a top 3 you could have focused on.

When I moved to a new region, I obviously didn't have any local contacts and had to use references from a few years earlier. They received one call from my agency, and two calls from families I wanted to work for. That was it. And I sent them a thank you card every time they provided a reference for me. You should not be giving out their contact info so willy-nilly.

You are ennoying OP. Why cant you just choose 1 or 2 families that you would like to work for and give your references only for them.

OP i dont see as a something good to interview with so many families. I think i would be pissed if 15 families call me. I dont. Think you are that great. If you were, you would stick to 2-3 families for few years.
