Checking up on parents is something I always do now.

I found out about the drug traffickers (see above post) that way. I found out one of the DCD's that used to come and hang out was a registered sex offender (rape of a child)...that one changed EVERYTHING.
We also did a "trade" deal with a DCD who was very handy. He did good work, but was slow and would whine to my husband and myself about how hard up he was and wished we were paying him cash instead of daycare services. I checked up on him and found he has a rap sheet for check fraud, theft, conning seniors etc. He had been very insistant on getting work done here when we weren't home. We always refused and are now very glad we did. I am sure stuff would have gone missing.

You can NEVER be too careful. Our training rep told us at a licensing training class that she recommended running a check on parents. She said you have a right to know who is coming into your home.
