Quality childcare isn’t optional. It’s essential.
For over 15 years, NannyBackgroundCheck.com has been in the business of empowering parents to make educated and informed nanny hiring decisions.
Whether you’ve found a nanny candidate through a nanny placement agency, by word-of-mouth or through an online nanny recruiting website, NannyBackgroundCheck.com provides tools and resources for parents to thoroughly screen potential childcare providers before entrusting them to care for their children in their private home.
While there are several Internet based nanny background check services, NannyBackgroundCheck.com is a traditional background screening firm with an online presence.
While some competitors utilize only online databases to gather background information, this methodology for gathering information, when used alone, is flawed. NannyBackgroundCheck.com leverages technology and utilizes online records searches in conjunction with traditional screening methods, giving parents more accurate and up-to-date information on the nanny candidate whom they are considering hiring.
Since traditional background checking methods take longer than online only searches, NannyBackgroundCheck.com search results are not instant. Once final reports are prepared, typically in just a few days, they are forwarded to parents to be analyzed, scrutinized and reviewed.
NannyBackgroundCheck.com provides parents with information to make an educated and informed hiring decision based on the information they provide. It’s essential that parents verify indentifying information that the candidate presents and that the information provided is correctly entered into our system to yield the most accurate results.
While it can be uncomfortable to ask a nanny permission to run a background screening, qualified nannies expect to undergo a rigorous background screening as a condition for employment. It should be a red flag to parents if any nanny declines a comprehensive background screening.
Criminal background screening is just one tool in a parent’s arsenal of screening tools. Parents should conduct phone and in-person interviews, check references and verify education and credentials prior to hiring a nanny. NannyBackgroundCheck.com offers many of these services too.
All of these may or may not be necessary for you to get comfortable with your next nanny, but they are all worth consideration. One thing is certain, you can't be too safe when it comes to hiring a caregiver for your children.
Parents should also listen to their gut instincts when it comes to hiring a nanny. If a nanny doesn’t feel like the right fit, she’s probably not.
Parents need to carefully consider which searches they will conduct on a nanny candidate. Not all searches make sense of all nanny candidates. For example, a 35-year-old woman whom you met through an online nanny recruiting site and has lived in three different states will require more intensive screening than your 23-year-old neighbor who has lived next door her entire life.
At minimum, parents should consider incorporating the following into their screening process:
- Proof the candidate is legally authorized to accept employment in the US
- An in-person interview
- Childcare reference checks
- Character reference checks
- A criminal records check in each area the candidate has lived for the past 7 years
- Motor vehicle records check
- Sex offender registry check
Additional checks such as civil court records checks, credit checks, and criminal records checks in the areas and/or states where the candidate has worked for the past 7 years may also be warranted. Some parents may also wish to conduct drug testing and psychological screening on nanny candidates prior to hiring.
While many online sites sell parents national record searches, these database searches should be used for preliminary screening only and are not intended to replace county and/or state criminal records checks.
