The letters of recommendation talk about the skills, aptitudes, personality and abilities of the people. Host families and Au Pair s should request a letter of recommendation.

For Au Pair s, the people who can write a letter of recommendation can be former host families with whom they have worked. A language teacher with whom they have been taking classes, or with whom they took classes at some time may also be a reference.

If the Au Pair wants references about the family he can ask his current or former Au Pair , teachers of the school the children attend, etc.

References can be delivered in writing, or if you prefer you can ask personally, If the people interviewing agree.

The host families, in addition to asking for references, also ask for a medical certificate or a certificate of criminal antecedents. This is mandatory in some countries, to be able to process the visa.
