Safety & Vetting
How we vet every wedding babysitter
Your wedding day is not the day to take chances with childcare. Here is exactly what every babysitter goes through before working with your family.
Our vetting process
Four layers of verification
Multi-layer background check
Every babysitter undergoes a comprehensive background check that includes criminal history (federal and state), sex offender registry search, and identity verification. Background checks are renewed regularly — not just at onboarding.
Psychometric evaluation
Babysitters complete a standardized psychometric assessment that evaluates temperament, emotional regulation, and character. This goes beyond what a background check reveals — it identifies who this person is, not just their history.
Skills and experience verification
We verify hands-on childcare experience, check CPR and First Aid certification, and conduct a practical assessment of child management and communication skills. Every babysitter must demonstrate competence, not just claim it.
Reference interviews
We conduct live reference interviews — not just checkbox forms. We speak directly with previous employers, families, and supervisors to get a real picture of how a babysitter operates under pressure and with children in their care.
Insurance & liability
Coverage you can document
Call Emmy carries liability coverage for every engagement we staff. Families and event organizers receive documentation of that coverage as part of the booking confirmation. If your venue requires a certificate of insurance (COI), we can provide that upon request.
Our standard is higher because your day demands it
Call Emmy was founded by a working mother who understood that "vetted" is a word that gets thrown around without meaning. We built a vetting process we would trust with our own children — and that is the standard we apply to every wedding, every babysitter, every time.
