• Minimum of 3 hours are needed OR payment to sitter as if it were 3 hours.

• If we find a permanent nanny for your family, there is a one-time referral fee due during the first week of the sitter working for your family (up to 3 months = $50, more than 3 months = $100).
• $20 fee will be applied to any last minute sitting requests (Within 24 hours)
• $25 fee for consultations with sitters prior to sitting. (Up to 1 hour)

Cancellation Fee
If a cancellation is made within 24 hours prior to the scheduled sitting, 50% of the time requested is owed.
For example, 5 hours requested for one child at $12.00/hr= $60.00. In this case, we would ask for $30.00.
No cancellation fee with over 24 hours notice.
If it is a true medical emergency, we will work with you to accommodate your needs.
