Are childcare providers background checked?
Upwards epitomizes the trusted name in childcare. As parents try to find full-time, part-time, after-hours, backup, weekend, and overnight care, Upwards has become the leading source for connecting families with affordable, quality childcare providers for years. Many of our caregivers have completed a full background check and are designated as verified in the Upwards app. Parents can filter search results to list only verified childcare providers in their area. They can also request a background check for caregivers who have yet to be verified. Upwards' network of experienced providers is here to support families with their child care needs all around the nation.
