The California TrustLine Registry is the only registry of its kind in the U.S. In addition to the child service providers listed below, it also requires any youth transport company operating within California to also register their company and individual agents regardless of their state of origin. We support the registry and hope to see other states follow this excellent example and protection of our youth.
TrustLine is California's registry of in-home child care providers, tutors and in-home counselors who have passed a background screening. It was created by the California Legislature in 1987 and is a powerful resource for parents hiring a nanny or baby-sitter. All caregivers listed with TrustLine have been cleared through a fingerprint check of records at the California Department of Justice. This means they have no disqualifying criminal convictions or substantiated child abuse reports in California. TrustLine is administered by the California Department of Social Services and the non-profit Child Care Resource and Referral Network. It is endorsed by the California Academy of Pediatrics.
TrustLine is an effective tool for parents to check the backgrounds of a transport / escort company, and their individual agents that transports minors across the California state lines with permission from the minor's parents, custodial parent or legal guardian, baby-sitter, nanny, tutors and in-home counselors to determine if an applicant has criminal convictions or substantiated child abuse reports in California. TrustLine is the only background check authorized by state law to use three databases that the general public, including private investigators and private background check companies, cannot access. These databases include the fingerprint records from the California Department of Justice's California Criminal History System; the Child Abuse Central Index of California; and fingerprint records of the FBI Criminal History System.
