What a caregiver background check should cover
A caregiver enters a client’s home, often alone and often with a vulnerable adult. That raises the bar on screening.
SSN trace
Confirms identity and surfaces the address history that tells you which counties actually need searching.
Nationwide criminal search
A broad first pass across jurisdictions to catch records outside your state.
County criminal searches
The records that hold the real detail, pulled from the courts themselves rather than a database.
Sex offender registry
Checked nationally, not just in the state where you operate.
Watchlists, including OFAC
Global and state watchlists, standard practice for regulated care settings.
Motor vehicle record
Essential for any caregiver who drives clients to appointments or errands.
What it costs
One price per caregiver. No tiers to pick between and no separate charge for the driving record.
Background check and driving history
Identity and criminal searches plus a full motor vehicle record — everything you need for a caregiver who works in a client’s home and drives them to appointments.
Why home care agencies move to Sure Check
Most agencies we speak to are paying a national platform for searches they could get faster, and cheaper, somewhere else.
Unlimited counties, not per-county billing
Caregivers move. A seven-year address history can span four or five counties, and most vendors bill for each one. We include them all.
Results in about 8 hours
Most checks come back the same working day, so a caregiver you need on shift Monday is cleared Monday — not lost to an agency that moved faster.
Checks that stay valid
A check with no criminal history stays valid for 12 months and can be reused, so you are not paying twice for the same caregiver.
Caregivers can self-pay
Give applicants the option to pay for their own check and take the cost off your books entirely.
FCRA compliant, PBSA certified
A woman-owned consumer reporting agency holding a PBSA FCRA Core Certificate. We handle disclosure and authorization properly and guide you through adverse action.
Every report read by a person
A screener reviews each report before it reaches you, cutting the false matches automated-only services routinely pass through.
Questions agencies ask
We already go through the state. Why use a vendor?
State registries generally cover only that state. If a caregiver lived elsewhere during the past seven years, a state-only check will not surface it. Our county and nationwide searches follow the address history wherever it leads.
Do we have to collect the caregiver’s personal information?
No. You order from your own account and invite each caregiver by email. They enter their own details and sign the authorization electronically, so sensitive data never passes through your office.
How quickly can we start?
Same day. There is no setup fee, no minimum volume and no annual contract.
Do you screen nannies and household staff too?
Yes. Families hiring directly can run a nanny background check for $45 without an agency account.
