This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 7 yrs
Since I am now a college student, my schedule is much more lenient than it was before I had graduated High School. While only having a few scheduled classes a week, I have been trying to get in contact with a family in order to gather some more experience for my future career, as well as save up some extra money for college expenses. I have a severely disabled older sister, who I have been looking after my whole life. Since I have grown up with someone so disabled, it has accustomed me to situations that may not normally happen while babysitting for a family. For instance, giving medications at the proper time, or transporting her from her chair and into the car. I have a large and loving family with many children, so watching little kids is definitely nothing new for me. I am hoping to come in contact with a flexible and loving family, that I can work for for a long period of time.

I interviewed this applicant and was very happy with the outcome, she appeared to be a responsible and qualified person and we got along very well. She set up a meeting with my daughter at her home on 7/9 to meet the children. She never showed up nor called. I was concerned that she may have had an emergency, a valid reason for not contacting us, so I reached out to her via phone, text, email, and care.com messaging. She never responded ( I gave her several days) and I then noted that she had recently been active on the care.com site, indicating that she saw at least one of my messages. Although she may be a qualified caregiver, I would not feel comfortable leaving my grandchildren with someone who would not respond to any form of communication, displaying rudeness, inconsideration and immaturity.
