Why check a nanny before they start?
- Young children can't report what happens when you're away, so the trust you place in a nanny has to be earned in advance.
- Nannies are commonly found through personal networks or placement agencies, and references are hard to check independently.
- No check can tell you how someone treats a child. A verification tells you whether the identity and address hold up and whether anything shows in court or FIR records — one input alongside your own observation.
What we check for a nanny
4 checks, each with its own result in your report.
ID VerificationAadhaar / PAN / Voter ID
Is their ID genuine, and does it match the details they gave you?
Confirms the ID number and details shared match the format and information on record.
Looks at: UIDAI · NSDL · DigiLocker
Criminal VerificationCourt Record Check
Is there a court case in their name?
Searches publicly available court records under the name and details provided. A result is not proof of guilt, and no result found is not a guarantee that none exist.
Looks at: eCourts records
Police VerificationFIR Check
Is there a police complaint (FIR) in their name?
Checks for First Information Reports registered under the name and details provided, where publicly available. Coverage varies by jurisdiction.
Looks at: Public FIR records
Digital Address Check
Does the address they gave match available records?
Confirms the address shared against available digital and public records — not a visit to the location.
Looks at: Digital & public records
The Digital Address Check is not a home visit. Criminal Verification searches public court records — a result is not proof of guilt, and no result is not a guarantee none exist. Police Verification (FIR Check) coverage varies by city and doesn't include unreported cases. A report is never a guarantee of future behaviour.

No. A report is one input to your decision, not a guarantee.
