What are the recommended items to be checked in a nanny background check?
We recommend two ‘broad net’ tools that can help a family expand their screenings without spending a fortune. These are the National Sex Offenders Registry search and the the National Criminal Records Locator. These searches are strongly encouraged. We also recommend a motor vehicle records search be run even if you do not plan to have the nanny drive your children. Information on the MVR can speak to the candidate’s judgment (DUI or excessive speed), responsibility and attention to detail. Reference checking should never be overlooked. Every candidate should be able to provide you with a minimum of 3 non-related references. References who have observed the candidate in a childcare setting are preferred. Character references, however, may be the only real references the younger candidate has. Families may request that Verifications Inc.’s trained staff verify references of candidates.
