I am a in home child care provider. I have a clean record and used to just happily give out my social if reluctant parents needed to do a background check, last year i was a victim of identity theft. Since then no one has asked to do a background check, i provide Credible references from familys who i work for and personal refrences and I have also done 2 interviews and invited them to my house....they are friends of a personal friend of mine as well, who also gave me a great refrence, howver they want a background check, so i told them i want to do one on them first to make sure they check out and have no criminal activity and then they can have my social and do one...
they are insulted and mad. any suggestions on how i can make them feel safe yet not worry that ten years from now that background check with my social is going to make it into the wrong hands?? Identity theft is not funa nd it almost ruined me the first time. please help??? this is my childcare business.

Was your identity theft cleared up? You know everyone is always vulnerable. Are you a licensed home care provider? That should be enough if so. They should be able to run background checks without your social, through the police department. You should never give your social out.

They should be able to do a background check through the police department without getting your social security number. Check into it and see if this is an option. Also, you have to look out for yourself, it is too easy now for someone to steal your identity.

Let them be insulted and mad. When potential employees tell me they've done some looking into the background of our company, I'm impressed. I would be more concerned about their credit history than any civil/criminal activity, which is probably what they'd be most concerned about. In the future, maybe should shouldn't do business with friends.

You cannot claim the money you paid to someone for childcare if they do not have a ssn because you should have not hired them in the first place - it's illegal. Secondly, if they worked in your home, you should have been paying employer taxes, too. You're in a big mess now. Contact the IRS.
