The holiday season is a time when many families see high traffic through their homes. Whether fixing up the house, intensive cleaning and/or some quick renos before the family rolls in or increased demand for childcare, families need to be in a position to validate who they have in their home.

Background checks are the answer and there are two that are very useful for this purpose:

These are both background checks in Canada that you can and should require an in-home worker to provide prior to entering your home.

If you are an in-home worker reading this blog, you should be prepared to provide these background checks to people if you plan to work their homes.

  • A clean criminal record check and social media check for an in-home worker is substantial and something that can be used to promote confidence and trust right at the start of the relationship.
  • A background check that surfaces something doesn’t always mean its game over. Things happen and an item not relevant to trust or the role you will be fulfilling maybe acceptable with an explanation.
  • A serious problem on a criminal or social media background check could help you avoid a serious problem with an in-home worker altogether.

These background checks are crucial to validate the trustworthiness of an in-home worker.

The background checks in Canada are actually very easy for in-home workers to obtain. Both criminal record checks and social media background checks can be obtained online from providers like Triton.

The accepted background checks should come from a credible background check provider.

1.  Does the background check providers information derive straight from the source.
2.  Is information most current and accurate?
3.  How fast are checks available?
4.  How secure is their platform?
5.  Are the background checks delivered online.

There is merit in investigating who is an acceptable background check provider. There are sites online that purport to offer even free criminal background checks buy many offer dated, inaccurate information or surface level information that is incomplete. You should strive to obtain the most accurate and current background checks when validating in-home workers.

  • Employers: You don’t have to take unnecessary risk with your family and/or property.
  • In-home workers: You should want and expect to validate your trustworthiness through providing background checks.

The background checks outlined in this blog are the fastest and most cost effective way to do it. For more information about obtaining background checks in Canada please visit www.tritoncanada.ca.
