Background checks can be performed on your nanny to make sure that she doesn’t have a criminal record, or you may need to have a background check as part of your employment. There’s a big difference between a federal background and a standard background check.
Why?
There are different databases available.

What’s A Standard Background Check?
A standard background check will include most of the information about you or another person. You can order an advanced background check that includes a lot of information, including:
- Addresses
- Criminal records
- Court records
- Driving records
- Arrest records
You’ll have access to a lot of background information with a standard background check. Additional databases may be searched, too, depending on your needs. There are a lot of public background check services that are advanced and sophisticated.
Background checks may be performed by:
- Individuals that want additional information on a person
- Employers that want to dig into their potential worker’s past
Anyone can have a background check performed on a person. You’ll be able to find out a slew of information on the person, including driving records (important for the transportation industry), arrest records and even verify employment information.
What’s A Federal Background Check?
A federal background check is slightly different from a standard background check. These checks will include infractions on the federal level. If a person was involved in a federal crime, a federal background check will be ideal.
These checks will be able to identify a variety of crimes, including:
- Kidnapping
- Money laundering
- Tax evasions
You may also find FBI background checks. The FBI offers one of the most extensive background checks in the industry, and the checks may include information on:
- Credit history
- Criminal record
An FBI background check will include a fingerprint check as well as security clearance. The FBI check is only required in the most serious of positions that will include national security positions where the person may be a government contractor or worker.
Some employees may require an FBI background check to be able to identify if an employee has any of the following on their records:
- Felonies
- Misdemeanors
- Bankruptcies
- Arrests
The government provides forms that will allow you to request a background check directly from the FBI.
Federal employment background checks are being used more often in sensitive employment positions, including working in a daycare center. These checks dig a little deeper into a person’s background check than a standard check with an emphasis on serious crimes.
