Why Background Checks Matter for Child Care, House Cleaners, and New Hires
Protecting Your Home, Your Business, and What Matters Most
Hiring someone to care for your children, clean your home, or join your business team requires a high level of trust. But how well do you really know the person you’re inviting into your private space or workplace? At Westbrook Investigations & Consulting, we specialize in professional background checks that go beyond a quick online search—because peace of mind starts with proper vetting.
👶 Child Care Providers: Trust Isn't Enough
Parents often rely on recommendations, online reviews, or instinct when hiring a babysitter or nanny. But none of these replace a professional background check.
Why it matters:
Protect your children from individuals with a history of abuse, neglect, or criminal behavior.
Verify identity, employment history, and references.
Ensure the person has no undisclosed legal issues that could put your family at risk.
What we check:
Nationwide criminal history
Sex offender registry
Identity verification
Past employment and references
Civil litigation involving children or families
🧽 House Cleaners: Your Home Is Sacred
Even a reputable cleaning company may not vet every employee thoroughly. If you’re hiring independently or bringing someone into your home regularly, a background check can prevent major security risks.
Risks include:
Theft or property damage
Access to sensitive documents or valuables
Repeat offenders who move from home to home undetected
A proper check confirms that your cleaner is not only trustworthy but has no red flags that could threaten your household.
💼 New Employees: Protect Your Business
Whether you're a small business owner or growing a team, pre-employment screening is critical to long-term success. A bad hire can lead to liability issues, customer complaints, or even legal trouble.
Our background investigations can:
Uncover resume fraud
Highlight criminal convictions relevant to the job
Identify patterns of misconduct
Validate identity and employment eligibility
This is especially vital for positions involving money handling, sensitive data, or unsupervised access to clients or property.
🔎 Why Use a Professional Investigator Instead of Online Services?
Online background sites are often incomplete, outdated, or misleading. At Westbrook, we use verified data sources, investigative techniques, and real human analysis to deliver:
Accurate, in-depth reports
Contextual insights, not just raw data
Customized screenings based on your needs
Absolute confidentiality and legal compliance
