To anyone hiring from care.com, please note, care.com WILL ALLOW someone with a DUI on their driving record to be a member on their site, for you to hire. As long as the candidate can have the charge expunged from their record they will gladly let you be a member of their site. Some states will allow expungement of such a charge after only 5 years. However, some states will not allow expungement of any alcohol or drug related charge, ever. So, if you live in such a state and you made a mistake 20 years ago, were charged with a misdemeanor, completed everything ordered by the court, never had another charge of its kind and are honest and forthcoming about it to care.com, you will never be able to be a member of their site, for life. No if, ands or buts, no exceptions!
Personally, I would want the honest person who learned from their mistake to work for me, not the person who, with the help of care.com, hides it.
This is how it works, they run a background check and pull your driving records. If something shows up (DUI, dwai, careless driving, etc.) Care.com will send you an email stating you have 7 business days to clear it up. If you can get the charge expunged from your record you can be a member on their site, if not, you are banded for life. No joke!
