What to Expect: Pay Rates for Last Minute Care
Most nannies charge a higher hourly rate for last minute or sick-child care. Short-notice work may require them to cancel their own plans, and sick-child care carries the added risk of illness.
For urgent or sick-child care, offering a competitive pay rate significantly increases your chances of finding care quickly.
Need a Pre-Screened Provider?
For families looking for a more vetted childcare option, our Verified Care Provider Service connects you with screened providers who have completed our verification process.
