Reference check

The school is trying to do my reference check. I haven't worked in a long time, so it's not that easy to do. I gave them numbers from people I work with at church in the children's ministry. But that wasn't enough, the secretary called and asked if there was any former parents from the child care kids I took care of that they could call. I'm thinking you've got to be kidding me right? I haven't done child care for almost 7 years. I tried looking though all my old records to come up with a name and phone number. I must have put the kids files somewhere else, because all I found were business receipts. I pulled out the phone book, and luckily found the phone number of the Grandmother of one little boy I took care of. Amazingly I remembered her last name, which isn't even the same as her grandson. I called her and left a message to let her someone would be calling her, she called me back, a little while later. It was fun to talk with her after all these years, she hasn't changed much at all! Her grandson doesn't live with her any more, but he lives close by, and she volunteers at his school once a week. She's still an awesome grandma!
