While we understand the importance of employer references in the decision-making process, we encourage you to consider the nanny's demonstrated skill sets and qualifications. Throughout our rigorous screening process, we conducted comprehensive interviews, background checks, and assessments that shed light on her capabilities and suitability for the role. However, it is with regret that we inform you that despite our best efforts, the nanny does not possess the contact details of her previous employers, and she was unable to provide any references for her past experiences to be verified.

Reference check not completed - Contact provided not reachable

We reached out to the previous family that employed the nanny for reference verification, but unfortunately, we were unable to obtain a response. It seems that the family has moved away or changed their contact information, and we were not able to reach them through any other means. We made multiple attempts to contact them over a period of time, but to no avail. The families have either moved away or changed their contact information, making it impossible for us to establish contact with them. We understand the importance of having comprehensive background information for our nannies, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, we assure you that we have thoroughly screened the nanny through other means, including personal interviews, background checks, and assessments of their qualifications and experience. While we acknowledge that a lack of employer references can be a disadvantage, we encourage you to consider other factors such as the nanny's skills, demeanor, and personal references to make an informed decision about their suitability for your family's needs.
