Background Checks in Aspen: Because Your Nanny Should Be More Reliable Than a Ski Lift in a Blizzard

Ah, Aspen. A town of powdery slopes, luxury chalets, and parents who would love to find a nanny as dependable as their favorite après-ski cocktail. Whether you're a local or just here for the season, one thing’s for sure: you want a nanny who is safe, reliable, and doesn’t disappear faster than your toddler when they hear “bedtime.”

That’s where we come in. At The Natural Nanny Collective, we don’t just find nannies—we work magic. ✨ We take the stress out of hiring by doing thorough, airtight, trust-building background checks so you can relax, enjoy that espresso martini, and know that your little ones are in safe hands.

What We Actually Check (And Why It Matters More Than Your Pre-Ski Stretch Routine)

Hiring a nanny without a proper background check is like skiing Ajax in flip-flops: a disaster waiting to happen. Here’s what we cover when we vet your future childcare pro:

1. National Criminal Database Search

Because a nanny’s past should be as clean as freshly groomed ski runs. We dig deep into criminal records across all 50 states (and beyond if needed) to ensure there are zero red flags.

2. Sex Offender Registry Check

We check all state and federal sex offender registries, because safety is non-negotiable.

3. Social Security Verification

Not to sound like your mom, but who even are you?! This confirms that the person you’re hiring is who they say they are.

4. Driving Record Review

Aspen parents, you know the roads here can be wild. Whether it’s snow-packed streets, elk crossings, or rogue tourists who don’t know how to drive in the mountains, we make sure your nanny isn’t a hazard behind the wheel. If they’re transporting your kids, we ensure they have a clean record and safe driving habits.

5. Reference Calls (Like, Actually Talking to People, Not Just a Name on a Resume)

Would you let a stranger watch your kids just because they have a cute bio? Nope. We call past employers, previous families, and anyone who’s seen this nanny in action to get the real story. We call two personal references and ALL past nanny employers. No stone is left unturned!

6. CPR & First Aid Certification Verification

Because knowing a nanny is CPR-certified is better than hoping they know what to do when your toddler shoves a whole cracker in their mouth like a chipmunk. We verify this personally and nannies are required to update with us every year.

7. Drug Testing (If Required by the Family)

Because a nanny should be alert, responsible, and fully present, not half-awake from last night’s questionable choices. We

Why You Need Background Checks—Even If They Come Recommended

We get it. Maybe your friend swears by their former nanny, or you met someone who seemed too good to be true at the Aspen farmers' market. But here’s the thing: anyone can look good on paper (or over organic kale and fresh honey samples). A solid background check ensures you’re hiring someone who is trustworthy, experienced, and actually qualified.

At The Natural Nanny Collective, we don’t cut corners. Our process is as thorough as a preschooler explaining why they definitely need a cookie before dinner.
