How fast can I get a caretaker for my family?
We work hard to match families with qualified caregivers as quickly as possible!
- Babysitters: In many cases, we can match you with a babysitter within a few hours, depending on your location, date, and time of the request. For planned bookings, we recommend requesting care as early as possible to ensure the best availability.
- Nannies: The timeline for finding a nanny varies based on your family’s specific needs, schedule, and preferences. While some families are matched within a few days, others may take longer to find the perfect long-term fit. We begin the nanny search process as soon as we receive your completed client application, membership fee, and signed parent contract.
How much do long-term caregivers cost?
Most long-term jobs start at $22 to $24 per hour for one or two children and $24 to $26 per hour for three or four children. Rates can go up based on needs and expectations.
