What checks do our background services include?

For U.S. Candidates:

  1. Social Insurance Number Trace: Verifies the candidate's SIN and provides an address history.
  2. Sex Offender Registry Search: Checks if the candidate is listed on any state, territory, or tribal sex offender registry.
  3. Global Watchlist Search: Reviews various domestic and international watchlists to ensure the candidate is not a threat.
  4. National Search: A broad search across a compilation of criminal databases and records across the United States.

For Canadian Candidates:

  1. International Search (or Adverse Media Search): Look for any international records or media mentions that could indicate potential risks.
  2. Global Watchlist Search: Similar to the USA package, this search checks international watchlists for any matches.

Note: You can only run a background check for a Canadian candidate on CanadianNanny.ca
