Verified means verified.

The "background-checked" badge is overused. Here is what we actually do before a candidate is ever placed in front of you.

Documented vetting.

Multi-state criminal, federal records, sex-offender registry, SSN trace, I-9 right-to-work, MVR for any driving role. Every check returned in writing and shown to you on request.

References we actually call.

Three live phone references from prior household employers. Not a written letter, not a LinkedIn endorsement. We ask the questions you would ask if you had the time.

Skills tested in practice.

Nannies do a working interview. Caregivers run a Hoyer-lift demo. Chefs cook a tasting. Drivers complete an MVR ride-along. We hire helpers who can do the job, not who interview well.

How a placement runs

Four steps. Each one documented.

From the first call to a verified hire in your home, the process is direct and the paperwork is yours to keep.

1

Brief

One call to lock the role, household structure, schedule, special considerations and the non-negotiables. We sign your NDA before the first candidate name is mentioned.

2

Verify

Each candidate clears the five-layer screen - criminal, identity, references, MVR and skills - before they ever appear in a shortlist.

3

Shortlist

Three to five verified candidates with full vetting documentation, references-on-file and trial-day options. You meet only confirmed-clear candidates.

4

Place

We coordinate offer, contract, start date, household onboarding and 90-day replacement guarantee. One named consultant runs the placement end to end.

Why families choose Verified Helpers

Most household staffing agencies hand you a resume and a smile. Verified Helpers hands you a documented vetting file. That changes the conversation in your kitchen. The trust question is settled before the candidate walks in, so the interview is about fit, chemistry and fit alone.

Our nannies, caregivers, chefs and household managers have placed into single-family homes, blended-family compounds, multi-property estates and high-net-worth principals across all 50 states. The verification stack is the same regardless of the role - five layers, every time, in writing, in your file.

Households we work best with

Principals, parents, family-office leads and household managers who need a verified hire and need it correctly the first time. Direct-hire placements, payroll arrangements through your nanny-payroll provider of choice, and full vetting documentation transferred to you on day one.

What we do not place

Temp or short-notice fill-ins, staff for transient short-term rentals, and roles where the household will not run a structured trial period. We are deliberately built for the longer placement.
