If you’re uncomfortable with offering a couple of character references, I’d wonder why. And probably would take a pass on you.

I’d wonder what was wrong with you since no other nanny has ever asked for one. It’s not common and would make you look like a troublemaker.

Let's be honest here. Would you want your young adult child going to work in the private residence of complete strangers? I seriously doubt it.

Many of us have done it.

You can google the parents, you can check their social media, you can look up court records for free in some areas... you have options to check out the parents.

Do you have a young adult child going to work in the private residence of complete strangers? No, you don’t.

The better nannies don’t much care about your low standards.

If I can't pull up a decent amount of information on a family just using their names, cell numbers and address, I don't interview. They always give that information prior anyway, so if Google can't find what I need? Nope, I pass.

It is never going to be standard in the nanny world. Stop dreaming.

Yes. Sites like Glassdoor have reviews (references) from current and former employees. Don't you research a potential place of employment before you go work there?
