Just to let you know…of course I check references 🙂 Even though it’s sometimes tempting not to – you think you should go with your gut, or figure you won’t get anything out of it, etc…it’s still good to check just in case. It’s also good to get confirmation of that gut feeling.
As for background checks, one of the sites I put an ad up on offers free ones. The person you’re hiring must approve it first, but it is available. Feels kind of funny doing one, but you can never be too careful.
Those background checks don’t indicate “never shows up on time” or “sometimes doesn’t show at all” though. (I suppose that’s where the references come in 😉 )
Wish I had more nanny news, but I don’t yet…
