Nannies play a crucial role in shaping a child's future. A child's early years depend on the care and protection made available, by those in the peripheral. It is difficult for parents to find out detailed information on a nanny's past experiences and background. Several nanny service agencies are now operative, to help parents by providing background checks.

A background check covers some basic areas of the individual's personality. It helps the parents in getting a clear picture of the candidate's character traits. The first step in a background check is a social security number trace. This number provides all the information on the individual's address change for the past 7 to 10 years. This information can then be matched and verified by the candidate's version and inconsistencies can be checked. Moreover, this number validates the choice of the jurisdiction that might be searched for criminal records and reveals if the candidate has used any other names, apart from the stated one.

In case the candidate is from other part of the country, this test is very helpful and essential. It pays to go through the state or county- wide criminal check that maintains records on felony and misdemeanor indexes.

The driving history and accident reports form an integral part of the background check. They indicate the impulses and judgmental abilities of the individual, to find out about driving under influence or DUI charges. The sex offender registry is an important check, maintained at the state level. It allows for postal and electronic reports on the search results. Various agencies also allow access to online individual credit reports. However, this procedure has become quite tough, with the increasing security measures employed by the credit bureaus.

A Quick Note From The Publisher... If you like the article above, you may be interested in the following article which is also related to Background Checks... Background Checking: They Aren't Just Checking References Any More For the longest time, employers would do simple background checks. They have a potential employee complete a job application where they were asked for three professional references. Before the employee was hired, the three would receive a telephone call and tell the potential employer that the job applicant was a wonderful individual who would do incredible things for them, just as they had done before. For a while, polygraphs or lie detectors became part of the standard arsenal of checking until, fortunately, legislation was passed in many states eliminating it as a tool (they were notoriously inaccurate). In a recent poll, 77% of employers surveyed were searching the web for information about new hires and 35% had eliminated a candidate based upon something they found there. A few years ago, a manager I was working with at a hedge fund Googled the name of a job applicant for a technical position and found a posting where they had written that they were still working in technology only because they had suffered large trading losses and wanted to join a company where they could learn what they did wrong—in other words, learn how my client traded and steal the model. Suffice it to say, the candidate was rejected. Companies are examining listings on www.myspace.com and www.facebook.com to determine whether the job applicant might have done something inappropriate. And, as they have for years, many are doing background checks including checks of your financial responsibility (credit checks). So, remember that picture in the belly shirt with the beer in your hand toasting the photographer you posted on MySpace three years ago? And guy, remember that picture that was taken of you streaking through the frat house when you were 19 that’s still on your webpage? Take...
