We strongly recommend that you give references in the field of childcare. Have you worked as a babysitter or completed an internship in a kindergarten? With references you make it easier for Host Families to assess who you are. The more recommendations you have, the more likely you are to convince Host Families of your skills.
Please make sure to briefly inform the relevant people whom you have used as references on Aupairnet24. Unexpected demands can usually give a negative impression.
