If you are new to our posse fill out a family profile HERE to register with our agency. If you are already registered you can go to your dashboard by logging in HERE. We ask that all new babysitting requests are made in your dashboard and NOT via text or email. This is to ensure no request falls through the cracks!
After you submit your request we connect you with one of our amazing sitters based on your tier preferences and availability. We will be in touch as soon as we have a sitter confirmed for you. Please note our cancelation policy goes into effect immediately after being matched with a sitter.
You will find your sitter’s information in your dashboard along with a brief bio. We encourage you to connect with your sitter prior to your shift start time.
Once your sitter starts their shift enjoy your time out (or in) knowing our posse has you covered. Once you return pay them from the app and add a tip if you think they deserve it!
After your sit we encourage you to leave a review on your sitter. Just go into your dashboard and click the date of the shift. When your sitter pops up you cannot only leave them a review but let us know if you want to see them again!

Please note, while Nanny Posse cannot guarantee a sitter for your requested booking we will always do our best to help you have the best chance of securing your booking needs.
The booking fee is the fee paid directly to Nanny Posse for matching families with qualified sitters.
This fee is only required once a sitter is secured.
We are committed to the safety of both our families AND our sitters. For this reason, all of our families are vetted before we match them with sitters.
We require our families to have a background check on file for ALL the adults living in your home or references from at least three (3) previous caregivers (nannies, sitters, teachers, etc.). These checks will need to be updated annually.
*This price only includes two checks, and additional checks can be purchased for $60 a piece.
All sitters are to be paid $10 or half (½) their hourly rate (whichever is higher) for all sleeping hours.*
*Sleeping hours are defined as all hours that child is asleep while the care provider is in your home for a booked overnight between the hours of 8pm-6am
Nanny Posse will work on the back end to do our best to help you book any last minute jobs. However, Nanny Posse makes no guarantee that a nanny or care provider can be placed in your home for these given dates. You are never charged if a provider cannot be secured.
*All late fees are in addition to the regular booking fee.**See “Holidays” tab for list of holiday
*Inconvenience Fee- This fee is waived for families experiencing medical or family emergencies.
**Cancelation Fee- This fee can only be waived at the nanny/care provider’s discretion.
If a Family’s child should fall ill twenty-four (24) hours before the Sitter is scheduled to start working Nanny Posse must be notified as soon as possible.
The Nanny Posse Sitter will make the final decision if they wish to provide sick childcare. If the sitter chooses to care for the ill child, you agree to pay NP sitters an additional $10 per hour, plus their applicable tier rate, overtime, and holiday premiums, if any.
Our base pricing is for two children. Any child over that will incur an additional $1 per additional child.
*Please note a Nanny Posse sitter can only care for up to five (5) children at a time. Six (6) or more children will require an additional sitter to be booked.
Every 15 minutes after the scheduled end time is 50% of the sitters hourly rate.
We understand that things come up and many sitters are willing to accommodate families if proper communication precedes your return home. However, the sitter may also have other obligations following their time booked with your family and their booking time should be respected.
We suggest that all requests to extend bookings be made via text message. We also suggest that you ensure written confirmation from the sitter that they will waive the late fee charge for any tardiness you may incur.
If you come home anytime after your scheduled end time you are subject to the above late fees at the sitters discretion.
