Most of our candidates come to us via word of mouth through the community or recommended by their past employers. Some find us online through various search engines and social media platforms.
After we review submitted resumes, we will request a phone call with qualified candidates. If the initial phone call goes well and the candidate meets our requirements, we will request a face to face interview. We require a cover letter, letters of recommendation, 3-6 phone numbers for references, all social media URL’s, and the candidates DMV record.
We review all letters of recommendation, social media platforms, call and document references associated with each candidate. All Seaside childcare providers are required to be fingerprinted with the Trustline™ Registry before being submitted to our clients. Seaside does not work with candidates with prior DUIs, felonies or misdemeanors.
Trustline™ Registry is California’s background check for in-home childcare providers. All Seaside Nannies and Newborn Care Specialists are required to register before being submitted to our clients. The candidate’s fingerprints are filed with the DOJ, the FBI, the California Central Childcare Index and the California Department of Social Services. We encourage you to learn more about this valuable service by visiting http://trustline.org/.
Once a client intends to hire a candidate, Seaside performs additional background checks. We run a Social Security number trace checking every county that candidate has lived in for criminal activity. Seaside also offers extra services such as a credit report, sexual offender investigation as well as education and job verification for an additional fee.
The process takes between one week to eight weeks, depending on the difficulty of the search and the availability of candidates who match your needs.
