Nanny Reference Check Form

Hiring a nanny is one of the most important decisions a family can make. This Nanny Reference Check Form helps parents and guardians conduct thorough reference checks with confidence, covering everything from child safety protocols to discipline philosophy and daily routine management.

Why Use a Nanny Reference Check Form?

Professional reference checks are essential when entrusting someone with your children's care. This template guides you through structured conversations with previous employers, ensuring you ask the right questions about safety awareness, reliability, emotional intelligence, and household integration. Whether you're hiring for full-time, part-time, or occasional care, comprehensive reference checks provide peace of mind and help verify a candidate's experience and character.

Built for Modern Families

Paperform makes it simple to send reference check forms directly to referees via email, collect responses securely, and review detailed submissions in one central place. With conditional logic built in, the form adapts based on the referee's relationship to the candidate, asking relevant follow-up questions about childcare experience, emergency response, and professional conduct.

You can customize this template to reflect your family's priorities—whether that's focusing on infant care, managing multiple children, special needs support, or specific household routines. Once submitted, responses can be automatically sent to your email, logged in a spreadsheet, or even routed through Stepper to trigger follow-up tasks like scheduling final interviews or conducting background checks.

Who This Form Is For

This nanny reference check form is designed for families, household managers, nanny agencies, and staffing coordinators who need a professional, thorough approach to vetting childcare candidates. It's particularly valuable for parents hiring their first nanny, families relocating and building a new care team, or agencies managing multiple placements who need consistent reference documentation.

Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance and secure data handling mean sensitive reference information is protected, while customizable success messages and email notifications keep your hiring process organized and efficient.
