Checking References

I need someone to check some of our babysitter's references. This involves calling up the referees and chatting to them about the babysitter. They will have a word document with questions they need to ask the referee, and will need to fill this in and send it back to me. Sometimes it's just a matter of having a chat, other times it's important to answer all the questions - so will have to use their judgement. Knowledge of children and childcare would be useful!
