[quote=Anonymous]I recently went through a nanny search using several well known websites.  Firstly, the preliminary background check that is no additional cost when you are a member at one of these sites did not turn up a criminal charge that I found on my own.  I am very glad that I used Maryland Judiciary Case Search (just google it and it will pop up).  Ideally to do this, you should have the person's full name, address, and date of birth.  One of my potential candidates had NUMEROUS cases that appeared to me to demonstrate a very negative pattern.  One case was criminal (theft).  I also found driving-related offenses: reckless endangerment and not having a minor in a seatbelt! One of her duties would have been to drive our child places.  I am very glad that I took this step and I wanted to post about it to make others aware of this quick screening tool if they weren't already.  It is free, just takes a few minutes, and the results come back immediately.  Be aware that many of the cases do not include a DOB, so you want to be careful that you are looking at the right person.  Middle name helps and address really helps with that.  And, of course, you could confirm by obtaining for records through other channels.
