Tips On How To Conduct Background Checks for Nanny Services

Hiring a nanny is a sophisticated process that involves searching, interviewing, checking references and extending an offer to the right candidate. When the nanny has accepted your offer, the final step is conducting a criminal background check. Your offer should be contingent on the outcome of those results.

What to check? It’s hard to imagine that in this era of the Internet and computerization there is no reliable national criminal database that is accessible by the public. The “gold standard” for checking a nanny’s background is to first run a search using her Social Security Number to see where she has lived in the past seven years. This is done so that a decision can be made on which counties should be searched. Yes, that’s right, these searches are done county by county, not nationally. Few states have a reliable criminal index that is suitable for nanny background checking because nannies tend to commit misdemeanors at most. Many of these indexes only turn up people who have felony convictions and/or have served time. Many states don’t have statewide indexes at all.

What To Expect From Your Nanny
There are several things that you should expect from your nanny. Don’t
assume that they will provide this, though. The fact is that every aspect of
hiring a nanny means spelling out what you require. In the next chapters, we’ll
help you to do just that.

A nanny should:

• Respect family decisions and provide services around them.
• Promote the development of the child in all aspects including emotional,
• physical, intellectual and social developments.
• Hold true to high standards of professional conduct with children and
• families.
• Continue their education to provide the latest resources and skills to the
• child.

As a nanny looking for a job, you are likely to need to go on several interviews and meet with new families face to face. Therefore, it is extremely important to stay safe when you are setting up and going to a nanny interview and meeting people for the first time. Remember that a nanny interview is different from other job interviews in that you will likely be going to someone’s private home rather than a business location. Overall, it is important to keep your safety in mind while still being open to having a positive experience. What follows are safe interviewing tips for a nanny position.

Trust Your Instincts

If you are going to work as a nanny, then you probably already have pretty good instincts about people in general. Therefore, if you are setting up a nanny interview and something doesn’t feel quite right when you are talking to the family on the phone or via email, stop the process right there and look elsewhere for a job. It isn’t worth the risk to continue with the situation if you feel like your safety might be compromised, or even if you just don’t feel like the position is going to be best for you. There is nothing wrong with cancelling a nanny interview at any point.

Keep People Aware

Always let someone else – a friend or a family member – know where you will be and at what time you will be there. Leave information such as the address of the family’s home or the location where you will be meeting, the time the nanny interview will be starting, and the time you expect to be finished. Take your cell phone with you, if you have one, and make sure others have the number so they can call you.

Bring Someone with You

If you would feel uncomfortable going to a first nanny interview alone, take a friend or family member with you. They can wait in the car or, if the family agrees ahead of time, they can come in. Honest families looking for a nanny will appreciate your attention to safety and will likely agree to allow your friend to sit in with you.

Ask for References

You are entitled to ask the prospective family for references before or during your nanny interview. These can be from a previous nanny or from other household help. They could also be professional references from one or both parents’ employers. In this case, it is better if you can call the references and speak to them directly rather than just have a conversation through email.

Perform a Background Check

For a small fee, you can run a background check on one or both parents before your nanny interview. From this you can learn a great deal about the family and you can judge whether they are legitimately looking for a nanny and if they will be a safe family with which to work. If you are being hired by a single father, you may also want to check the National Registry of Sex Offenders (www.nsopr.gov) just for peace of mind.

Use All of Your Resources

Sometimes the simplest things can give you the most information. Before your nanny interview, go online and search for the family’s name – you may find out some interesting and helpful information, both good and bad. You can also do more in-depth searches about the family, the address where they live, the professions of the parents, and more. Take note of anything that concerns you, and either discontinue the hiring process or make notes to ask questions.

In addition, check online nanny listing sites to see if the family has a profile. If they do, you can gather more information from what they have included in their profile. Does the tone of the profile sound friendly or professional? Does the tone instead sound confrontational or difficult? Gather as much information as you can about the nanny position from what the family has made available.

Choose an Appropriate Location

If you do not want to go to a family’s home for the first nanny interview for any reason, you can request that you instead meet in a more public area, such as a restaurant or a shopping mall. You can then set up a second nanny interview at the family’s home at a later time. The fact is that you are a stranger to the family as much as they are strangers to you, so they may appreciate your concern and caution. This step may not be necessary, but it is good to keep your options open.

Ask Questions

At your nanny interview, remember that you will be working closely with this family as their nanny. Therefore, don’t be afraid to ask questions about the family and to listen carefully to their answers. If you feel uncomfortable about any of their answers, or if they hesitate before giving you some information, then you may want to reconsider working as their nanny.

Conclusion

The first time that a nanny candidate meets with a family for a new job can be exciting and enjoyable, but it is always important to put safety first. If you are careful about who you are meeting and where you are meeting them, you can ensure that you will be comfortable and safe. Then, you can focus the nanny interview on asking the important questions about the job and learning more about the family with whom you will be working as you begin to form a relationship that hopefully will last for many years to come.

Role of a Nanny

The role of a nanny includes things like being educators, nutritionists, activity coordinators, researchers, friends, and much more. They do more than any babysitter could provide as their job is not to keep the child out of trouble for a few hours, but for their life. It is up to you to decide who you hire as a nanny for your family.

There is no official seal of approval that nannies have. Yet, it is very strongly recommended that you take the time to find out about their experience and their education.

Most nannies will have special education under their belt for child care. These skills should be evident in the way that they work with children, in the decisions that they make and on paper from the school itself. A nanny with special child care skills is a person that has dedicated their education to becoming a child care specialist, something you definitely want to have in your home.

It is strongly recommended that you consider the educational background of the nanny before you hire them to care for your child. Even someone that has had their own children may not know all that they should about the educational and social development of a child. Many colleges offer this type of education and there are also a number of nanny institutes that are a tool to consider as well. As you will see, there are a number of different ways to hire a nanny, but this is one aspect that should never go without detailed research.

Just who is a nanny anyway? Many people don’t realize what a nanny can provide or what their true job is. In fact, this will be one of the steps you go through when hiring a nanny to care for your child. What you want them to provide must be defined ahead of time. In that, you have to know what should be provided and what a standard nanny’s job is.

The definition of a nanny is someone that is employed to take care of children. This generally happens within the child’s home. Some nannies are live in while others will come and go on a daily basis at various hours. Nannies can be hired on a full time basis or they may even work part time. In most cases, they are responsible for the day to day care of your child including their established routines.

Top Questions and Answers

Nanny Employer Tips
and a new How to choose a nanny ebook for only $7

Adolescence is one of the most difficult times of life for both teenagers and their parents. As teenagers go out into the world, they are confronted with mixed messages about their looks, their behavior, and their attitude. Teenagers are particularly susceptible to peer pressure, and are easily influenced by those with whom they spend the most time.

At this age, teenagers are worried about how they look, concerned about their popularity, and very focused on their own feelings and experiences. These truths, combined with still immature reasoning and judgment means that teenagers are prone to distortions in their self image and are likely to have at least somewhat unrealistic estimations of their own capacities.

As a parent, you, naturally, want to help your child with every advantage in life. Most importantly, perhaps, is that you want your child to grow up to be confident, responsible, and successful. How can you best foster self esteem in your teenager?

1) Give them clear rules to follow. All children, no matter what age, respond best to clear instruction. Your teenager may balk or fight over your rules, but this is par for the course. Clear rules communicate the value you have for your child, and when your children know they are valued, this is the first building block of self esteem.

2) Balance out criticism with appropriate acknowledgements. When your child does something well, say so. Acknowledge their skills, talents or abilities, and be sure to pay attention to the positives rather than only the negatives.

3) Let them make some of their own decisions. Teenagers learn good decision-making by actually making decisions. Allow them to make decisions with your guidance. Ask them to share their lines of thinking with you and their reasoning. Help them see where their reasoning or judgment might be better.

4) Keep in regular contact with them. Although teenagers are likely to be self-centered and self focused, be sure to talk to them anyway. Ask about their day, find out what they are feeling, and share information about your day and your feelings too. No matter how much your teenager wants to isolate or disconnect from the family, work to keep them engaged and involved.

5) Be proud of your teenager, and tell them so. When your child accomplishes a goal or is awarded an honor, take the extra step to let him or her know how proud you are. Words make a huge difference; don’t just assume that they already know.

6) Support your child during a conflict. When your child is in conflict with another, find a way to support his/her viewpoint while maintaining your personal integrity. Your child will not always be right; but he or she will not always be wrong. Being supportive of your child during conflict provides a strong foundation for meeting all kinds of challenges.

7) Examine your own self esteem and feelings of limitation. If you have struggled with your own self esteem, take care not to impose these same struggles on your child. Children are very susceptible to absorbing their parent’s opinions and belief systems, so take care not to impose your own negative beliefs on your child.

Be consistent. If you want to raise a healthy, well-adjusted child (and you probably do), be consistent with your rules and your approach. It doesn’t matter so much what the rules are. It matters more that the rules are always the rules. Don’t criticize your child for something one day and praise him for it the next. Children don’t gain self esteem in the face of constant change.

9) Remind your child of your support. It’s like the old saying, “give them roots to ground them, but wings to fly”. Let them know you are there to help them whenever they need it. Again, this feeling of support and constancy will help them become more confident in the world.

10) Finally, celebrate their uniqueness. Every parent has cherished dreams and goals for their child. This doesn’t mean that the child will want those same dreams and goals for him or herself. When there is a gap between desires and reality, you, as a parent, must bridge that space by letting go of what you desired and truly, deeply loving who your child is.

These tools will help you build your child’s self esteem. With high self esteem, your child will move through the world more confidently, be more willing to take necessary risks, and will be more successful. And what parent wouldn’t want that?
