[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I do background checks on nannies for work. It's fairly common that they present me with a clear background check from care.com and then the one is not clear...[/quote]

What does this mean? Not following you [/quote]

I will say I have to do a background check on a candidate. Then they will send me an "all clear" background check from care.com and say here I already have one run. Then I will say to move forward working together, part of my job is to run one myself. So I will then run it and have things come up. It's usually fairly minor- several speeding tickets etc, but obviously that can be important to know if they are driving your kids around. I guess just be wary and maybe question what background check services care.com uses and how far back it looks.[/quote]

Nanny here.

Care used Sterling as of 2017, no clue what they use now.

Every time that Sterling has run my check, I've had to dispute and prove that I'm not the person from the other side of the state with the same first and last and different middle initial.  She's had a number of car and other citations/arrests, so I have to be upfront and let prospective employers know that a complete check will take 2-3 weeks.  However, instead of the "all clear," they get to see the full driving record and the federal, state and county records for everywhere I've lived in the last 15 years.[/quote]
