Frequently Asked Questions for caregivers

Please contact us HERE if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 First you have to love children and have at least 3 (non-family) childcare references to offer.  You must be over 18 with a valid driver's license, insurance and reliable transportation.  You must be a US resident and/or able to work legally in the US.  If you meet the minimum qualifications, you will be expected to complete a formal employment application and meet for a virtual interview with our agency. Candidates who make it past this stage will need to obtain their infant/child First Aid/CPR certification (on their own, agency discount available).  You will also be required to sign our standard terms and conditions and an authorization that allows our agency to run a thorough criminal background check. Once you pass these requirements, you are eligible to work with families in our network! 


Occasional babysitting rates start at minimum $18/hr with a higher rate for additional children, as well as holidays, corporate events, hotel care, etc.

Long term Nanny rates are determined by the families, with our recommendations, depending on their budget and special circumstances. Ranges for most nanny jobs are posted prior to your applying for a particular job and you may have the ability to negotiate pay and/or any additional benefits that the family is offering.


For any caregiver that makes over $2,800 (2025) in a calendar year with one family, the nanny is responsible for paying taxes on this income.  We refer to the tax experts to learn more about this process and see our Tax Calculator HERE 


The Nanny Connection has helped thousands of families find quality childcare since 2004 throughout all major cities in Ohio, and parts of Indiana and Kentucky.  Currently we are accepting family inquiries for full-time nanny placements in Columbus and Cincinnati areas as well.  However, please note:  We do not have active babysitters currently outside of Northeast Ohio, so we cannot extend baby sitting coverage outside of Northeast Ohio at this time. 


While we understand how hard it can be to find childcare, most of our families do not allow their nannies to bring outside children.  We do ask families if they are open to this scenario and will note this on the job description.  Note:  Our contracts do not allow any outside children to be brought along on any on call or occasional babysitting shifts
