Hello everyone!! I'm new here!!

[Inspired by Reggio]

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new endeavor Gaby.

Unfortunately I do not know how to write German so will give my advice in English and hope the message does not get lost in translation

For references when just starting out I would opt for any family or friends who've seen your work with children who can speak to those skills ... even if you volunteer in positions at your child's school trips or the Sunday school or what not ... and throw in a couple professional non childcare related work reference that can speak to your professionalism and other work related skills to round it out until you get a few clients and can than ask them to serve as reference.

Good luck!
