We know your children’s safety is your top priority. That’s why you should rely on a trusted and accredited background check company such as National Crime Search to conduct a thorough background check on your potential nanny. Even if the person was recommended by a friend or family member, screening a candidate will provide peace of mind and help you make the best choice for your family.
Let’s explore what families should consider when conducting a background check on a nanny candidate to care for their children.
What's Included in a Background Check
You can check a candidate’s criminal history, driving records, education and past employment and more. Because a nanny is a prospective employee this screening must adhere to certain legal provisions established by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), a federal law that protects consumers’ private information.
To start, you must get the candidate’s signed consent before conducting the searches. There are also both state and federal laws dictating what can be shown in the report, how far back it can go and what should be taken into consideration when hiring, among other requirements. NCS makes that easy by providing an authorization form template.
