How do I check a babysitter or nanny in Ontario?
In Ontario, the Police Record Checks Reform Act, 2015 sets out three levels of police check: a criminal record check, a criminal record and judicial matters check, and a vulnerable sector check. The vulnerable sector check is the one for work with seniors or children. It is requested from the police service where the person lives, which in many areas is the Ontario Provincial Police.
A certificate badge on Maple Care means our team checked that document, but it does not replace your own checks. Ask to see the vulnerable sector check itself, and check its date, before anyone cares for a parent or child.
How do I choose a babysitter or nanny in Oshawa?
Start with the badges on their profile: a verified badge means our team reviewed the account, and each certificate badge means we checked that document. Then talk before you agree to anything. Maple Care is not a party to your arrangement, so the final checks are yours:
- Meet them with your child before the first shift.
- Ask for a current vulnerable sector check and first aid or CPR.
- Call references from families they have worked for.
- Agree in writing on hours, rate, house rules and emergency contacts.
