Nanny 911: Top Warning Signs You Need Another Nanny Check - And An Investigator

Investigation News - Nanny 911: Top Warning Signs You Need Another Nanny Check - And An Investigator - PInow.com Investigator Directory: "Parents are increasingly worried about the caregivers who care for their children. While carefully pre-employment screening can help parents find qualified nannies and babysitters, parents need to remain vigilant even after hiring, as problems can occur at any time.

According to 2002 census studies, about 360,000 US children (or about 3.7%) were cared for by non-relatives in their own home. These child care workers included au pairs, babysitters, and nannies working in the child’s family home. Given that so many parents are allowing caregivers into their home - and trusting these individuals with the welfare of their children - it is not surprising that many parents worry about the care their children receive. High-profile cases of nannies and babysitters accused of abuse only heighten anxiety."
