Background Check Details

We take childcare seriously. Nanny Lane partners with Checkr.com to conduct fast and compliant background screenings through their encrypted and secure database.

Background checks are conducted if the family decides to hire the nanny, subject to the outcome of the background check and if the nanny provides express authorization in advance.

After a background check is conducted, the family will be advised if the background check revealed a conviction for any of the crimes or violations legally allowed to be reported, unless there is a specific time range listed below. A conviction constitutes a "red flag" and the family is advised that the nanny's background check revealed a "red flag". A "red flag" is not automatically disqualifying. The nanny will be provided with a copy of the background report, and is encouraged to share it with the family and discuss it with them. The family, in its sole discretion, will decide whether the results of the background check disqualify the nanny from employment with them.

In the event of an erroneous report, the Nanny should contact Checkr.com. Information about how to report errors or contest background report findings will be provided by Checkr.com.

A misdemeanor generally is a crime that is less serious than a felony, and is usually punishable by a fine, penalty, forfeiture or confinement other than a prison.
