Book your ideal babysitter or childminder

The average hourly rate for childcare on Yoojo ranges from 10 to 11. Each nanny sets their own price based on their experience, equipment, and availability. You can compare profiles, genuine reviews, and displayed rates before booking, with no hidden costs.

There is no legal minimum age for children, and most Yoojo babysitters welcome children from birth. For children under 3, the babysitter must be over 16, and childcare must take place in your home. For children over 3, childcare can also take place at the babysitter's home. Prioritize profiles with experience caring for infants or early childhood education, and check parent reviews.

The profiles are very diverse: students, early childhood professionals, experienced young parents, and childminders. Some Yoojo babysitters hold an early childhood education diploma or are trained in first aid. This information is included in the profiles we verify internally. Use the search criteria to filter, and read other parents' reviews to help you decide.

Yes, the vast majority of Yoojo babysitters are happy to look after several siblings, usually up to three. Specify the number, age, and needs of each child when you make your request so the provider can adjust their rate and confirm their availability. For simultaneous childcare with children from different families, check with the babysitter and the other household before booking.

A babysitter provides occasional care (evenings, weekends, emergencies, outings), while a nanny cares for your child regularly and in a structured way, often several days a week. The nanny is involved in the child's daily routine: meals, homework, activities, and bedtime rituals. On Yoojo, you can find both types of caregivers to suit your needs, with recurring bookings to secure a fixed time slot with a trusted nanny, week after week.

Allow 15 to 20 minutes before the first departure: walk through the house (bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, exits), introduce the children and their routines (snacks, homework, screen time, bedtime). Enter essential information directly on the Yoojo website or app: emergency numbers, allergies, and house rules. The app also allows you to track the babysitter's arrival and departure via geolocation, giving you peace of mind from the very first night.
