How do I perform a background check on a new employee?

For Canadian users, background checks are available at an additional cost; they are not included in the cost of a subscription, nor are they mandatory for users prior to registering.

You can choose to do a criminal record check, driver abstract, or education verification through our services.

We have a specific team dedicated to background checks that are more than happy to help you out and answer any questions you may have. If you would like to learn more about our background check procedures, please contact screening@canadiannanny.ca.

For those living in the US: there are tons of sites that will run background checks for you. Look for a site that provides a basic report covering a Social Security Number Trace, a Country Criminal Records check, and a review of the Nationwide Sex Offender list.
