Our sincere heartfelt sorrow goes out to the family who’s nanny aparently committed the “most” horrendous & tragic of acts

In Nanny Staffing business for 36 years.  Seen it all when it comes to references, credentials, academic history & background.  Cannot believe how some people stick to their “made up or phony presentation,” when trying to get a job.  Even when the truth is exposed and put in front of their faces.  Always better to be safe than sorry.  Listen to your instincts.  Pay attention to the smallest of “red flags.”  Don’t only check the “reference” of a nanny….. check references/verify the “reference” itself.

Be smart.  Have a potential Candidate interviewed by a Doctor or similar professional.  Please be very careful with Background History Checking.  Most common “background checks” do NOT pick up misdemeanors, arrests or Municipal/County incarcerations.

Golden rule:  Ask A N Y T H I N G of an Applicant.  Including weather they are willing to be interviewed by a Psychiatric Professional/Social Worker.  A bonafide, legitimate job-seeker who has nothing to hide, would not mind.  These are not unreasonable requests as part of the screening and decision making process when hiring a caregiver for your children.
