Background Check

[Anonymous]

I am preparing to offer a position for a new babysitter/nanny. I would like to run a background check on her. I know both sittercity and care.com offer these services, but I've heard they are not of the best quality.

Can anyone recommend a background check service?

What state? Also, did she already give you a signed release form? Maybe the company will provide the form for her.

I totally agree...Do not rely on Care.com or Sittercity.com for a background check.

These are not very reliable.

Perhaps enannysource.com?

NannyVerify.com - it was easy and only took a day or two. Biggest hassle was getting the signed waiver back from the nanny, but that's the law.

Good that you got the signed form. I've heard of parents not getting the nanny's signature. Can only imagine they forged her signature.
