Setting the Gold Standard for Safety

We confirm the candidate’s name, date of birth, and Social Security Number to ensure they are who they claim to be.

National Criminal Records Search:

Our agency conducts thorough national criminal records checks to ensure that every nanny in our network has no history of serious criminal activity. This search covers nationwide databases, helping us identify any criminal convictions that may pose a risk to your family. It provides a broad level of security, ensuring that we only place nannies who have met our stringent safety standards.

County Criminal Records Search:
In addition to the national search, we perform a 7 county criminal background checks to provide a more localized review of an individual’s criminal history. This search digs deeper into the records held by the county where the nanny has lived, providing a detailed, accurate look at their history in the area. This extra layer of verification helps us ensure that the nanny you hire has been properly vetted within the communities where they have lived and worked.

• National Registry Check: This search looks for any individuals listed in the national sex offender database, which compiles information from all states. This helps identify if a nanny has been convicted of any serious offenses that are registered nationwide.

• State and County-Level Checks: Each state and sometimes individual counties maintain their own sex offender registries.

• Search Criteria: The check includes personal identifiers such as the nanny’s full name, date of birth, and sometimes other details like addresses or photos, to ensure a match with any registered offenders.

Our agency performs a comprehensive driving record search to ensure that any nanny who will be responsible for driving your children has a clean and safe driving history. This search reviews the nanny's past driving behaviors and violations, including:

1. Traffic Violations: It checks for any history of speeding tickets, reckless driving, or failure to follow traffic laws.

2. Accidents: The search includes records of any accidents the nanny may have been involved in, including details of whether they were at fault and the severity of the incidents.

3. License Status: It confirms whether the nanny has a valid and up-to-date driver’s license, ensuring that they are legally allowed to drive.

4. DUI/DWI Convictions: The search looks for any history of driving under the influence, which is an important factor in assessing a nanny's fitness to safely drive children.

At our agency, we prioritize the safety and well-being of your children. As such, we require that all nannies be certified in CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and First Aid before accepting any position. This ensures that they are fully equipped to respond to emergencies and provide appropriate care when necessary. Here's what the certifications entail:

1. CPR Certification:
   This certification trains nannies to perform life-saving procedures in the event that a child stops breathing or their heart stops beating. Nannies with CPR certification are prepared to provide immediate assistance until professional help arrives.

2. First Aid Certification:
   First Aid certification teaches nannies how to handle common injuries, such as cuts, burns, and sprains, as well as how to respond to allergic reactions and other medical issues. This ensures that nannies can provide care in everyday situations and more serious emergencies.

We require that nannies complete CPR and First Aid training before they begin working with any family, ensuring that they can handle medical emergencies with confidence and provide the highest level of care. This policy is part of our commitment to providing your family with the safest and most reliable caregivers.

At our agency, we take reference checks seriously to ensure that every nanny we place is trustworthy, reliable, and well-qualified. We don’t just verify information — we take the time to get to know the references to gain deeper insights into the nanny's work ethic, character, and suitability for your family. Here's how our process works:

1. Personalized Conversations:
   We go beyond simple reference verification by speaking directly with previous employers or families the nanny has worked with. During these calls, we ask detailed questions about the nanny's responsibilities, their interaction with children, reliability, and overall performance.

2. In-Depth Questions:
   Our reference checks involve asking open-ended questions that allow references to share their experiences in detail. We inquire about the nanny’s punctuality, ability to handle challenging situations, communication skills, and how they’ve managed household tasks (if applicable). This provides us with a well-rounded view of the nanny's strengths and areas for improvement.

3. Understanding Fit and Compatibility:
   We focus on getting a sense of whether the nanny would be a good fit for your family's needs. For example, if the nanny has experience with similar-aged children, their approach to discipline, and how they handle emergency situations. We want to ensure that the nanny’s background aligns with your family’s values and expectations.

4. Verifying Long-Term Reliability:
   One key aspect we look for is how well the nanny maintained a long-term, professional relationship with their past employers. We ask about the length of their previous positions, reasons for leaving, and whether the family would hire them again. This helps us ensure that the nanny is dependable and has a solid track record.
