Is it necessary?

[horizon]

I'm planning to hire a nanny for my 3 kids but i'm a bit skeptical after i read this nanny background check article. Who has an idea how much it costs or is this really necessary? Will this really give an assurrance that your kids will be safe with the person you hire? Need some feedback and advice before i hire someone.

.....Just a quick glimpse at googling "nanny background check cost" shows the cost varying from $50-$150, but frankly speaking, if you can afford a nanny you shouldn't be concerned about the cost of a background check...

In this day and age a background check is very important.

You can never be too sure these days, even with a background check. The really good criminals are never caught and therefore won't have a record. I assume that the nanny will be in your home, so I would invest in those hidden cameras around your house. The tapes don't lie! Good luck!

Since the OP's join date corresponds to the one and only post he/she made, and since the post included a link to a commercial website...

I vote Spambot on this thread.

If you have enough time to take care of your kids, please do it yourself.
If you have to hire a nanny, please make sure her character. It may play a big role in your kids life.
