In A Pinch, Inc.

A Temporary Care Referral Service

Registered Caregivers

All our registered caregivers have gone through a New Jersey State Police background check, reference checks, we go into the candidates' homes to interview them, and we maintain their photographs and fingerprints in our files.

To become a registered caregiver, a candidate must:

  • Be 18 years of age or older
  • Have prior childcare experience
  • Have access to an automobile
  • Provide 3 to 5 professional references
  • Complete our 5 page application
  • Submit a NJ State Police background check (forms provided by IAP)

The registered caregivers do not work for the service. Rather, they work with the service. Each caregiver establishes where, when, and how often they want to work. The caregivers set their own rates, depending on the requirements of the requested service, the number of children, as well as the caregiver's experience.
