FAQs

How do I know if you have babysitters near me?

We have sitters in every major U.S. metro area -- and in a lot of rural areas as well.Click here to check if we have sitters in your zip code.

Is there a fee to join Nanno?

Nope. Our basic plan is totally free. You only pay for the care you book. (If youupgrade to our premium planfor $29.99/month, you get a lower hourly rate when you book care. But that’s totally optional.)

Can I choose my sitter?

Yes and no. We can’t guarantee that a single sitter that you choose will be available at the exact time you need them. Instead, we let you choose a bunch of different sitters you like, and send your request to ALL of them. The first to say she can do it is booked instantly. (And your list is automatically saved for next time.)

Can I see sitter ratings and reviews?

At present, we keep all ratings and reviews internal -- and take responsibility for removing any sitter who does not get high ratings. But the ability to view ratings and reviews is coming in our new app -- launching in November 2020!
