F.A.Q.'s

Why is a database like this needed for childcare screening?

Currently, there is no nationwide database excluding childcare applicants with serious criminal records. This is the only nationwide database of its kind.

I am an applicant. I received a DUI and a number of traffic tickets several years ago. Will my name be included in the database?

No. Only certain felony and serious misdemeanors are included in the nanny clearinghouse^sm database. There are over 50 crimes that are included. Each state has different state statutes and verbiage for similar criminal offenses.

Where does the data come from?

The data source for the database comes from our previous investigations which contained criminal records from international, state, county and municipal criminal records.

How is the data used?

The names and identifiers of all childcare applicants are cross-referenced against the database for possible hits. If a criminal record is discovered, the record is confirmed by name/date of birth and other identifiers including photographs.

What if an applicant discovers their name is on the list, but the record belongs to someone else?

An applicant may contact us and complete a "Record Challenge" form. The challenge will be investigated and a determination will be made if a false positive has occurred.
