[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just an FYI-

Many agencies do not do a background check on their nannies these days until AFTER they receive a job offer. They don't like to spend the money on them unless they are getting something in return.  Obviously most of them come back fine, but that's the current business model that I've seen most agencies use these days.  [/quote]

This is standard practice in all fields, including teaching and healthcare. Why would nannies be any different?[/quote]

One of the biggest sale'so pitch of agencies is that they have the best well referenced, CPR and top background checks of all the candidates they represent. Employers seeing that from agencies assume agencies will not waste their time sending candidates they have not done a background check on. Regardless if it is standard practice in other forms of employment agencies are sending the message that their all their candidates  have a background check before working with them. If agencies are sending a mixed message why would anyone employer  pay the crazy fee and go online. And usually most employers will check references themselves and do their own background check even if the agency says they do it, for their own piece of mind.

So the question is what are agencies doing for their outrageous fees?[/quote]
Nothing besides their expert marketing pitch.[/quote]
