Hi everyone! It’s Laura from Nanny Parent Connection back with this week’s video.
Over the past year, our team has been approached by multiple nannies to discuss whether parents hiring a nanny or sitter should be background checked.
Several of these childcare providers shared some disturbing stories about sexual harassment, wage theft, and domestic violence that they had encountered.
While we have seen a few parents run background checks on themselves within our community, it is not common.
We reached out to several nanny agency partners from across the United States to get their take and heard a similar response: it is rare for parents to run background checks on themselves.
Should parents be background checked? Let’s explore the pros, cons and what our team recommends.
