Professional, pre-screened Nannies for in-home babysitting at your fingertips!
OUR SERVICE
By Appointment In-home Babysitting
Our by-appointment babysitting service is a subscription-based membership that gives you access to our pool of expertly pre-screened nannies for occasional babysitting appointments.
The service is perfect for families who only need occasional childcare and who are generally comfortable working with a variety of nannies as opposed to a single, regular nanny.
If you need to have the SAME Nanny for all your appointments or need a nanny who drives, we are not the service for you. Visit The Nanny Solution to hire a regular Nanny for 1 week or longer or to hire someone who drives.
You can book a Nanny to help care for your little ones during school professional development days, daycare closures, personal appointments, work events, and date nights.
We do not offer group babysitting, emergency or last-minute babysitting, or multi-day overnight childcare of 24 hours or more.
See our Healthy & Safety policies.
How Does the Membership Work?
Our completely redesigned babysitting booking platform gives you complete control of your babysitting appointments and the nannies you confirm for them.
Select the subscription plan that works for your needs (weekly, monthly, quarterly/3-month or annual). You’ll be able to make unlimited babysitting appointments during your membership period.*
Set up babysitting appointments at your convenience directly from your laptop, tablet, or mobile phone.
View the profiles of nannies in our pre-screened roster.
Choose, book, and confirm nannies for your appointments— all from within the Nannies on Call Babysitting platform. No more waiting for Booking Agents to confirm your appointments!
At the end of your babysitting appointment, the nanny will issue an electronic invoice which you’ll receive by email.
Pay the nanny directly using your credit card via Stripe in the Nannies on Call platform.
Enjoy the benefits of cashless payments!

We Make Families Happy
When working mom-of-two Michelle Kelsey started Nannies on Call in 2001, it was out of necessity—she couldn’t find trustworthy high-end childcare for her daughters and it was impacting her life in a negative way.
So she created what she had longed for—a professional, easy-to-use, hyper-reliable nanny service. And it caught on like wildfire.
