Included in each screening is a state search for each address listed by a nanny; a social security trace which provides information regarding anywhere or time credit has been checked or that social security number has been used for employment; a seven year search; a motor vehicle report and a sexual offenders search which is an all-inclusive, very in-depth search covering all states and US territories.

• Do families provide benefits such as paid holidays, sick days and health insurance?

  Most families provide some type of benefits to their nannies. An example might be that the family would be willing to pay a portion of a health insurance premium. The provision of benefits is a topic that needs to be discussed and agreed upon by the nanny and the family as terms of the employment.
