Already Found Someone? Get 40 Years of Vetting Expertise Before You Hire.
You found a nanny through a Facebook parenting group, a friend's recommendation, or an online resource, and they seem like the right fit.

Before you move forward, our comprehensive screening services verify their background, check their references, and confirm their identity. Trust your instincts. Verify the facts.
Why Background Checks are Essential When Hiring A Nanny
As a parent taking a hands-on approach to hiring, you may feel unsure about what level of screening is actually necessary.

We recognize that not everyone can do proper screening on their own. It’s often burdensome and time-consuming. It’s also difficult to identify red flags and blind spots. So for clients who find potential candidates through other resources, we offer a DIY option. That means we can do everything from background checking to interviewing to reference checking. We can do our whole screening process on a candidate or any combination of vetting services. Clients who want to thoroughly screen and check a candidate’s background and credentials regularly use us for this service option. If you’re interested in this service, call us!
