I've done my homework, read up on everything about etiquette safety etc.

However I'm having a devil of a time finding provider's who don't need references. Often several.

I'm getting verified through 411, but from what I understand this isn't enough usually. What should I do?

Also, do providers require the usual employment info in addition to 411? Isn't the whole point to avoid giving out your info directly? Alot of date forms make me wonder.

Join them, then no more forms to fill out.
Good Luck.

I agree too, join rs2k.  I am newbie friendly and there are other ways to screen.

She told me to become a member of Room Service 2000 (RS2000).  Best move I made.  Really opens doors.
