DON'T Hire a New Nanny Without Doing This First

Interviews and references aren't enough. The case for ordering a criminal background check on a prospective nanny before you trust them with your family.

Nannies play an integral role in the lives of our children or loved ones. However, it can be difficult to know if the person you're hiring can be trusted with such an important duty. Because modern technology makes it easy for anyone to conceal or hide their former misdeeds, you must exercise caution when hiring a nanny.

Employment applications, references, and interviews are great. But as solid as these measures are, the traditional hiring process is often ill-equipped to uncover anything your prospective nanny goes out of their way to cover up. Fortunately, there's a proven technique you can use to reveal prior criminal behavior — you can order a background check.

You can choose what you'd like to see based on which background check you select: criminal history, FBI, or level 2 background check.

You never want to be caught off guard by your nanny's past. A criminal history background check can alert you of any major offenses in an applicant's background.

You can also find out if the nanny you are considering hiring is on the domestic terrorist watch list by ordering a criminal background check.

Given that your nanny may travel with your child or an elderly loved one, you might want additional insight into their driving history.

While all children or seniors who fall under your care deserve the utmost safety, some individuals are especially vulnerable.

Hiring a nanny is one of the most significant decisions you can make for your child or loved one. Given the proximity nannies have to your loved ones, you can never be too cautious about their safety.

When you choose Bales Security to handle background checks for your nanny, you get the peace of mind that comes from knowing your child or loved one will be in good hands.
