What's the advantage of having a nanny placement agency conduct a nanny background check?

Taking Advantage Of Agency Nanny Screening

There are all kinds of reasons for hiring nannies through placement agencies, but one of the main ones is the ability to take advantage of their nanny screening services. Sure you're going to pay a fee for the service, but if you were to compensate yourself for the time, energy, and aggravation involved in doing it yourself, the money you'll pay a placement agency is a steal.

Just like any other service, you get what you pay for. That's no different when it comes to nanny screening or nanny background checks. For a basic fee package ranging anywhere from $50 to $120 dollars, the agency will conduct a nanny background check including a Social Security Number trace, seven year address verification, and a single county records check. More in-depth nanny screening options include criminal record checks (usually for just one jurisdiction), a run through the National Sex Offender Registry, a search for criminal records and a driver's license check. The more services you choose, the more you pay. Still, it's well worth having a nanny placement agency do all of the legwork while you prepare your home and family for the eventual arrival of a new nanny.
