No Free Nanny Background Checks

In most cases, you really do get what you pay for. When you're looking for help completing nanny background checks, don't expect to buy a discount package from anyone. In a world full of shortcuts, this is the one place where you want to go the distance. After all, this is someone you'll be trusting with your children. Relying on a nanny cam to monitor what goes on in your home really isn't the answer. Ultimately, nobody can give you a 100% guarantee that the new nanny you've hired is going to be perfect in every way. But you can at least ensure that there's no criminal past.

Nanny screening services are available at various costs. Paying anywhere between $50 and $200 isn't unusual. It usually depends on who is doing the nanny screening and how deeply they're going to delve into the past. There really are no free nanny background checks. If you're hiring a nanny through a placement agency, the fee you paid for the membership might include the cost of background checks, making it appear to be a “free” service.

You might be able to shop around for the best prices in nanny screening services, but pay attention to what you're actually getting for your money. Ideally, you should be paying for a service that will do a complete criminal and background check.
