Run a background check - Once you've identified the job seeker you're interested in hiring, we strongly encourage families to run a background check. One of the many wonderful benefits of being a registered GoNannies family is that you have access to view unlimited preliminary criminal background checks for free on any of our registered job seekers*. While some services and agencies irresponsibly offer these database checks as the sole source of background check information, GoNannies protects our customers by also automatically running essential in-court county checks for any and all matching hits obtained from the database check, FREE OF CHARGE to families (up to a $32 value PER COUNTY - $78 for NY)! In-court checks are indisputably the only way to obtain accurate, up-to-date criminal information. NEVER rely solely on database-only checks. [Learn Why]
Additionally, GoNannies offers a full range of affordable background check services including our more thorough Criminal Background Check Bundle or our Supplemental Criminal Background Check Bundle (which supplements the preliminary database check). We also offer employment/reference checks, driving record checks, education verification, and more. Our background check services allow you to be as thorough as you need to be in your screening process. Families may purchase background checks by visiting our Registration Page and selecting the checks which are most applicable to their needs and the job seeker's situation.
Visit our Understanding Background Checks page to learn more about the background checks we offer, and visit our How Background Checks Work page to learn how the background check process works.
*This service is only available to families registered for one of our membership services (excluding DomestiShare™) and only includes U.S. background checks. Access is subject to job seeker approval to view their report.

U.S. Work Eligibility/INS Information
[Link to Site] Bringing someone over from another country
can be very challenging and sometimes not a possibility. Be informed about the costs,
requirements, and feasibilty of bringing someone over from another country. We recommend
that you contact the INS and/or an immigration attorney if you are considering this
option. The link above points you directly to the page which includes the telephone
numbers to call INS to ask questions. Browse the rest of their site as well to learn
about work eligibility laws, regulations and guidelines.

Worker's Compensation Insurance - Find out whether your state requires
household employers to hold Worker's Compensation Insurance or not. In most states,
it is recommend that household employers go through their homeowner's insurance
provider for Worker's Compensation coverage (exceptions are NH, NY and OH where
there are requirements to purchase through the state). Often families are covered
under their umbrella policy and don't realize it. If not already covered, a rider
can usually be added to the policy over the phone.
