What Should a Nanny Background Check Include?

A thorough nanny background check should include the following:

01.

Criminal history:

A criminal background check ensures you are aware of any convictions or pending cases that may pose a risk. We search at multiple levels — national, state, county, and federal — to provide the most complete and accurate information available.

02.

Driving record:

If your nanny will be driving your children, reviewing their Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) is vital. This search checks for license status, suspensions, violations, and DUIs to ensure your caregiver is safe behind the wheel.

03.

Employment verification:

Past employment is one of the best indicators of future performance. We contact former employers to confirm dates of employment, job titles, and roles, ensuring your nanny has the childcare experience they claim.

04.

Education verification:

Similarly, it's important to verify the nanny's educational background, especially if they will be responsible for helping your children with their homework or providing educational activities.

05.

Drug testing:

A drug test can reveal past drug use that could be a concern, especially if the nanny will be driving your children or providing medical care. We offer 5 panel and 10 panel drug tests.

06.

Reference checks:

It's important to conduct reference checks to get a sense of the nanny's character and work ethic. This can include speaking with previous employers, colleagues, and personal references. Contact us to add reference checks to your order during checkout.

07.

Abuse Registries

In many states and countries, child abuse or neglect registries exist to flag individuals with a history of harmful behavior toward minors. When available, we search these registries to add another layer of protection for your family.

08.

National Sex Offender

All nanny background checks include a search of the U.S. National Sex Offender Registry, which covers all 50 states, Guam, and Puerto Rico. This is a critical safeguard when hiring anyone who will work closely with children.

09.

ID Validation

Verifying identity is the foundation of every background check. With an SSN trace and alias search, we confirm name variations and address history. We also validate IDs such as driver’s licenses, passports, and other national IDs to ensure the applicant is who they say they are.
