If you're planning to perform a background check on a potential babysitter or nanny, you will need to inform the person of your intent to do so. According to federal law, potential employers are required to obtain written permission before performing a background check on a job candidate. Simply inform your applicant that you intend to perform a background check and have the individual sign a form or statement authorizing you to do so.
Don't be concerned with the possibility of insulting or hurting your potential nanny's feelings. As your child is precious to you, you have to take the steps necessary to ensure his or her safety. If your applicant is reluctant to sign an authorization form, it could mean he or she has something to hide. A reasonable person with nothing to hide should understand why taking such steps is necessary.
Your Easy Access Background Check Site
After you perform the background check, be sure to place the authorization form in a file. It could be useful later if your babysitter denies signing the form. It's important to hold on to this form without regard to whether or not you choose to hire the applicant.
