I rotate my references so that the same person is not being bombarded with calls. I also ask people calling to be respectful of times they are calling as these people have young families, work and some are single parents. My references like the fact that I rotate them so that they are not getting calls all the time while I'm trying to fill a spot. Good luck!

I always tell parents to check references of all caregivers they are interviewing. Even if they don't choose me, I think it is one of the most important things to do as a parent before having someone care for your child.
