[quote=Anonymous][quote=webbkathy]In 20+ years in the industry I don't know one that background screens the parents. Many will require a face to face with the parents at least once, and some will visit the work place (home) prior to referring candidates - especially for live in positions - to have 1st hand information, but there is no hard and fast rule. An applicant should ask the agency what their specific policy is. And of course applicants should always keep their safety in mind, and when interviewing make sure someone else knows where they will be when, and then check back with the friend/family member when they leave the interview. This is particularly important if the applicant is using an online referral resource, but should apply across the board.[/quote] This is truly appalling that our "most reputable" agencies do zero background checking on any families. At least the au pair agencies must do that.[/quote]
