typically employers go back 7 years on a county level and 10 years on a state level.

Only serious felony convictions that require jail time would possibly be a problem.

i wouldn't worry about misdemeanorsand such. Employers will also do a credit check

I had a conviction when i was 22 and have had several jobs since then that do background checks and it never came up. That was thirty years ago. What employers are looking for is whether your going to be a threat to there company or employees.

Of course every case is based on its on merit and extenuating curcumstances. If you have a solid work history and they like you then i wouldn't worry.

New Jersey law does not specify a specific time limit for how far back a background check can go. However, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) generally limits reporting of criminal convictions to 7 years from the date of disposition, while non-conviction information (such as arrests without conviction) is limited to 7 years from the date of arrest.

Can background checks be performed on people I consider hiring for childcare?

You can certainly perform background checks on potential employees in most states. New Jersey and Pennsylvania are exceptions. My recommendation would include asking prospective employees to fill out a waiver to allow a background check. That way you are protected and anyone who won't allow a background check is probably someone you wouldn't hire anyway.
