Babysitting

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

• Bookings made 72-24 hours in advance are subject to a $15 late booking fee.
• Bookings made 24 hours or less are subject to a $25 late booking fee.
• Bookings made 72 hours or less during holidays subject to a holiday surge fee of $50.**

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

• Bookings Canceled 48-24 hours are subject to a $15 inconvenience fee* paid to NP and cancelation fee** of $50 or 25% of the booking, whichever is greater, paid to the sitter.
• Bookings Canceled less than 24 hours are subject to a $30 inconvenience fee* paid to NP and a cancelation fee** of $100 or 100% of the booking, whichever is greater, paid to the sitter.
• If you choose to end a NP sitter’s booking earlier than the scheduled end of the shift you owe the 100% of the shift total.

*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.

To best protect our families and caregivers the following will be rquired until further notice:

• All sitters will be required to wear masks when in clients’ homes. 
• Both families and sitters will be required to cancel a sit if they answer yes to any of the following questions:

  1. Within the last 14 days, have you traveled to a country that the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should be avoided for nonessential travel or where travelers should practice enhanced precautions?

  2. Have you had contact with any person with know COVID-19 or person under investigation for COVID-19?

  3. Do you have any symptoms of respiratory infection (e.g. cough, sore throat, fever, shortness of breath)?

  4. Are you or anyone in your home in active quarantine status?

• All families and sitters must agree to be truthful and forthcoming about possible exposure or COVID-19 diagnosis and failure to do so can result in a cancelation of memberships and ban from booking future sits. 

If you are looking to add a family to your sit they will need to register with our agency before a Nanny Posse sitter can care for their children. 

You will also each be responsible for paying the nanny two thirds (2/3) the sitter’s hourly rate.
