Why a
Background
Check is Needed?
After
interviewing several candidates, you’ve
found one that you like: She fits your
nanny job
description, your kids seem to like
her, and you feel comfortable with her. You think she’s the
right nanny
for you, and it's actually quite tempting to hire her immediately.
Yet in order for your mind to be at ease,
we highly recommend conducting a background check
nanny from which you can learn much more
about your candidate. During this check, you may find out important
facts you were unable to learn until now. These facts may tip the
decision between one candidate and another.
What should you check?
A
background check nanny should include
several items from which you can learn more about the history of the
candidate. Here are some of the basics checks to conduct:
Criminal record
– this is one of the most important things you need to check. A
child nanny
with a criminal record will probably not be
the person you want to care and be responsible for your kids.
Sex offense record
– You must verify that your candidate has no record of sex
soliciting or child abuse.
Hiring a nanny
and welcoming her into your family is a significant step. Make
certain in advance that no surprises of this nature arise.
Driving record
– From a person’s driving history, you can learn further information
like alcohol or drug-related incidents. It’s also important based
on the simple fact that you may be
looking for a nanny
part of whose responsibilities will be driving
your
kids to various places.
Social Security
– This check will first of all verify that the number your candidate
gave you is actually hers and not someone else's. In addition, you
can verify where she presently resides and where she lived in the
past.
