what information does employers get on background checks for childcare providers?

I think most back ground checks are 7 years but as long as the charges weren't dealing with child abuse you'll be ok.

The amount of disclosure varies from state to state... some states expect FBI fingerprint clearances, a child abuse history clearance and a criminal record check... my advice... contact a local teaching college and request information or look in to the clearance requirements for the state(s) you are interested in teaching in.  I don't believe that criminal mischief and disorderly conduct would be that damaging... as long as they weren't considered a felony.

Call your local Child Care Resource and Referral agency.  They will give you a list of licensed facilities in your area.  Also ask them if their is a website or phone number where you can get information on their past inspections.  Every parent looks for something different.  Tour each place at different times of the day and take the child with you.  You will "feel" it when you have found the right place but don't forget to look at their non compliances.  Ask the CCRR to send you a brochure on what questions to ask of the facility.  Good Luck!

There is no agency or bureau that compiles employment information.  There are companies that can be hired to do employment verification and history checks on employees for a fee.  Laborchex...

I worked in a daycare center in CO.  For ages 2 1/2 - 5 it was 7 children to one worker.  I worked in the largest class, 2 -3 year olds, and we had 3 teachers, 21 kids.  I don't think there is any state where the ratio is 1 to 15 in child care.  Please don't take your child back there untiil you've checked it out.  They can't possibly be watching your child very well!

If it is legal, you can check with your payroll or human resources department.  Otherwise you might wanna add more info as to what you are trying to find.

Here are three options.  They all cost money...as all of them will.\n\nhttp://www.integrascan.com/criminalrecords/background-checks\n\nhttp://www.intellicorp.net/\n\nhttp://find.intelius.com/search-name.php?ReportType=8&

Most licensing laws only automatically preclude people with felony convictions if the conviction is somehow directly related to the job for which you are requesting licensure.  Almost universally, you will have to disclose your criminal record on your licensure application and provide an explanation of the charges, outcomes and any restitution or punishment.  They will then most likely conduct a full criminal background check to make sure you told the truth.  The results of the background check and the information you provide on your application will then be reviewed by the licensing board to determine if they feel that your past criminal record would impact your ability to perform the duties of the license you're requesting.  Any decision they make will have to be made based on the policies and or laws that govern the license.  You can obtain a copy of the relevant policies and laws by contacting the licensing board and asking for a copy or by checking out their website.

Call your county office that licenses day care parents, perhaps they know of a family that takes children weekends. Plus a day care parent has been screened and fingerprinted.

Tricky question!  Ideally, we would be running criminal background checks daily, especially with the sensitivity of people today around such issues.  \n\nThe reality is that background checks usually cost money, and that this isn't a viable option.  Minimally, I would strongly recommend an annual background check for all employees and volunteers.  Make sure to get them to sign a release each year, allowing you to complete this.  \n\nIN ADDITION, I would recommend (again, strongly) that you put a written policy in to place, signed by each employee and volunteer requiring them to notify you within 24-hours of ALL CONVICTIONS (not arrests or allegations).  Failure to do so will result in immediate termination, blah, blah, blah.  \n\nIf you have a local paper that prints the Police Beat, make sure you have someone reviewing this regularly, as you never know what you might find in there! This would be probably cause to have a release signed, and an additional background check done.  \n\nOh, and another loophole to throw out at you . . . are you doing your state background checks, or following the path of previous living places?  It has been my experience that smart criminals move to another state in hopes of flying under the radar.  \n\nIf there's anything I can provide to you (an example of our policy or release), please feel free to e-mail me and I'll fax or mail something to you.  \n\nBest of luck! -Scot

That information MAY show up on a background check.\n\nIt depends on where you are applying for work (not the state you live in). There are only 10 states that do not allow employers to ask about arrests. In Oregon, we have several employers who routinely demand a "police contact sheet" of all hires. This includes every time your name was on a police report - whether you did anything or not.  Since you were arrested - it can show up. \n\nEven if you went through a diversion program or met other requirements that would get rid of the conviction - it does not automatically disappear. You still have to get it expunged.  How you do that varies by state. Check with your local county court for more information. \n\nNote to others reading this - even Juvenile records are not automatically sealed.  There is a process that you have to go through and request they be sealed (in most states). \n\nAlso the law is what the state you are applying for work in says it is. If you have crimes in NY (that NY says can't be looked at after X years) and you apply for a job in Oregon, that job can and will consider those crimes anyway.

depending on the job you are applying for, No. Some jobs might run a criminal background check anyway to see. Misdemeanors are minimal when it comes to job placement.

Background checks can be done by anyone who has a vested intererest.  If an employer wants to know about a prospective or current employee, they can order up a check.  There is no one office for such checks.  Before you open a credit card account, the bank company might do a background check including the criminal side if it is relevant.  Most times it is not, by the way.  If an individual is just curious on their own about someone else, then one would hire someone for this background check.  This can be done online for a fee, and it is not that hard to do.

Check out any database or google them. Or you can go to www.intellus.com and for a small fee they will give you all kinds of background info.
