Background Checks on Domestic Employees

When it comes to hiring domestic employees, whether it's a nanny, housekeeper, or personal chef, ensuring the safety and well-being of your household is paramount. At MoniCare, we understand that the decision to bring someone into your home is deeply personal and carries significant responsibility. That’s why we believe running comprehensive background checks on domestic employees is not just a precaution but a necessity.

First and foremost, background checks are essential for safeguarding your family. Domestic employees often work closely with children and have access to your home, vehicles, and personal information. A thorough background check can reveal any potential red flags, such as past criminal activities or excessive traffic violations, which might suggest a higher risk of problematic behavior. By vetting candidates thoroughly, you can make informed decisions and significantly reduce your risks.

Secondly, background checks also play a crucial role in assessing the professionalism and reliability of candidates. Employment history, references, and education verification can often be validated with a thorough background check. 

And finally, background checks help protect you legally and ethically. Employing someone without proper vetting could potentially lead to legal issues if the individual engages in misconduct. Moreover, they reflect your commitment to ethical and informed hiring practices, which is crucial in maintaining a positive and responsible reputation.

At MoniCare, we pride ourselves on running thorough and meticulous background checks. Our comprehensive package includes County Criminal Background Report, National Criminal Background Report, Driving History Report, Social Security Trace, Sex Offenders Check, and National Terrorist Check. It generally takes fewer than 4 business days to receive the report results. We provide our clients with copies of all reports.

And did you know that MoniCare offers background checks as an à la carte service? Our comprehensive background check is included in all long-term placements, but clients can also purchase the background package for $250 per employee. So if you hire a domestic employee on your own, you can still have the peace of mind that comes from a clear background check. Contact MoniCare for more information on our background check process.
