Check out our 3 crucial screening steps below!
Step 1
The REFERRAL A parenting group referral or reference can be a helpful resource to use. Connecting with them should include reviewing their group activity. It has become common for fake accounts to be set up in order to promote "amazing nannies". Group activities that include parenting questions, local activities, doctor recommendations, etc. are good indicators of actual families. Having only the intention of recommending is a red flag.
Step 2
Background CheckPerforming a background check allows you to check for any criminal history, to verify an individual's identity, to verify their SSN, to check their motor vehicle records (for those looking for a driver candidate) and so much more. You should consider going through an agency that offers screening services. Due to the fact that they do not require much personal information, simple online background checks are not reliable or accurate. The background check agencies have access to can be enhanced with additional searches whenever necessary, which is secure, accurate, and compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Step 3
Nanny AgreementSolidify your new hire with a nanny agreement!
