Back to resources list EVERY sitter registered at Keikisitters.com has returned a clean background check. The background check is a National Criminal Search. Our site allows them to enter their information then Lexis Nexis, the nations leading background screening company, runs the check. Lexis Nexis will charge the sitters $10 for this service.
Personal Information Needed
The check takes 30 seconds to complete. It searches through every courthouse data base within all 50 states. The information Sitters must supply is first & last name, date of birth, address & social security number.
What It covers
The background check will report all Felonies & Misdemeanors committed. A felony is a serious crime such as burglary, murder, rape & molestation. A misdemeanor results in 1 year or less of jail.
The Results
There are 3 background check results. The first & best is Clear. Clear means the sitter have no record in any courthouse within the United States & may proceed to create an account with Keikisitters.com.
The second outcome is Review. One or more results from the searches has returned information that needs to be further reviewed before a decision can be made. If you receive this result please contact us for further assistance.
The third outcome is Record. This means the sitter has a felony or misdeamor record in a courthouse. If this result appears the sitter will NOT be allowed to become a member to the site.
Important Considerations
Important things to know about the background check. A sitter may have committed a crime & had never gotten caught. Also, When a sitter signs up, there is no way of telling if they are entering another persons name & information to create the account. Although it may be awkward, parents must check the sitters ID card to confirm their name matches the name on their sitter profile. Another thing to consider is that any time a sitter has spent outside of the United States, the National Criminal Search does not cover. The sitter may have committed crimes in a different country.
Because of this we do highly recommend that parents read sitter's resumes, check references & conduct interviews.
Running A More Extensive Background Check
Lexis Nexis has many different background checks that parents may pay a fee to have processed. For example, a parent may request an international background check on a sitter for approximately $ 30 or request a driving background check (driving record) for approximately $ 5. For every background check ran the parent must receive permission from the sitter prior to running it. Please contact Lexis Nexis for more information. Sitter's may also run a background check on parents.

As a registered parent you have already accessed the sitters profile information, availability calendar, resume & references. This gives you the opportunity to ask them more conversational questions, which will give you a sense of what they are like as a person (sociable, energetic, creative, etc). Because it's a social interview Babysitting questions & Petsitting questions will be similar. Here are a few fun questions to ask your sitter:
Parents with Children
How long have you been on the island?
What's your favorite age to care for?
I love for my child to learn, are there any skills you can teach them? Such as Hula dancing or sign language?
Talk about new products that have come out, such as the really cool finger painting gel made by Color Wonder. Have they seen or played with them?
Or you can discuss current happenings around town.
Pet Parents
Do you have pets?
What's your favorite pet to care for?
Do you have any experience training pets to be obedient? (or anything that relates to something your pet can learn)
Talk about new products, pet stores or vets.
Or you can discuss the current happenings around town.
