Catherine L.

Catherine was FANTASTIC! She watched my two children throughout business hours for a week straight and with fairly little notice. She was on time, every time. The kids adored her and she went well above and beyond all expectations. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Catherine and trust her implicitly.

FAQs for finding a summer nanny near you
What are summer nannies?
A summer nanny is simply an in-home child care provider that you hire to look after your children when they are out of school for the summer—unlike hiring year-round care which is more common for children who aren’t in school yet.
How much does a summer nanny cost to hire?
The average hourly rate for summer nannies on Care.com as of November, 2023 is $17.68 per hour. How much each individual summer nanny charges can vary based on how experienced they are, how many children you have, and the specific child care duties you need them to take on.
Is hiring a summer nanny safe?
All summer nannies on Care.com are asked to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck. Any nannies who complete a CareCheck have a badge on their profile that displays the date it was run. A CareCheck is a great jumping off point, but we strongly recommend that you do your own due diligence when hiring a summer nanny to look after your children. It is a good idea to request references and do your own private background check.
