Find an experienced nanny in Scottsdale, AZ

Q: How much should I expect to pay a nanny in Scottsdale?

Nanny rates vary based on location, the nanny’s experience, and how many children need care. In most areas, nannies earn between $18–$30 per hour. Full-time, experienced nannies or those providing additional services (like tutoring or transportation) may charge more. On SitterTree, rates, expectations and schedules are set upfront for stress-free negotiations.

Q: What is the best way to find a nanny in Scottsdale?

It's easy to find a nanny in Scottsdale on platforms like SitterTree, which require ID verifications and background checks for nannies to stay active on the app. Look for nannies with relevant experience, and strong reviews from other parents. You can also meet candidates through local parenting networks or referrals, but it's important to conduct a reference check and background screening before making a decision.

Q: Is it cheaper to hire a nanny or daycare?

It depends on your family’s needs. Usually, daycare is more affordable for one child, but you might want to hire a nanny if you have multiple children or need flexible hours. Many parents choose nannies for personal attention, in-home convenience, and consistent care.

Q: What is the hourly rate for a nanny in Scottsdale?

Most nannies earn $18–$30 per hour, though rates vary by city, experience, and responsibilities. Specialized care (for newborns, overnights, or travel) often comes with a higher rate. Checking average rates in your area is the best way to stay competitive and fair.

Q: What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter in Scottsdale?

A nanny provides regular, ongoing care—often weekly or full-time—and may help with routines, meals, school pickups, and child development. A babysitter usually provides occasional or short-term care, like date nights or weekends. Both roles are important, but you should make your choice based on the hours and consistency your family needs.

Q: How do you find a reliable nanny in Scottsdale?

Look for consistency, communication, and great reviews. On SitterTree, every nanny must meet Quality Standards, including a minimum 4.5-star rating, 0 no-shows, and no more than 3 last-minute cancellations. Ratings are generated from real parent reviews, so you can get an accurate sense of each nanny's reliability.

Q: How to safely hire a nanny in Scottsdale?

To make safe hiring decisions, review references, run a background check, and schedule an in-person or virtual interview. Ask about certifications like CPR and First Aid and previous experience. On SitterTree, nannies verify their identity and pass a background check, so you can focus on finding the right fit without worrying about what’s behind the profile.

Hello, My name is Amanda or Mandy, and I am more than comfortable with either. I have been working with children from infancy to school age for four years. I initially began as a daycare floater at the age of 21 and developed a deep passion for observing children’s daily progress and witnessing their growth into their unique personalities. Additionally, I have experience working with autistic children, which has provided me with a background in special needs. I have also worked as a case aide for autistic families and children, conducting visitation hours with families. After a year away from childcare, I have decided to return to this field, as working with children holds a special place in my heart. I find myself visiting my former daycare facility to reconnect with the children and staff who I worked with and formed positive relationships with. I hold first aid and CPR certifications, a Level One fingerprint clearance card, and RBT certification.

I work at a restaurant part time and babysit for many surprise families ages 1-12. I’m graduating early this year as I am supposed to be a junior. I also have 2 younger sisters that I grew up helping with. I'm enthusiastic, punctual, and reliable. I charge 16 an hr and am very flexible with my schedule, as I do schooling online!

Hi! My name is Zoe, and I have several years of experience caring for children in different settings. I began working with children in high school and have continued building my experience ever since. I’ve worked as a caregiver and nanny for families, provided childcare during weddings, and cared for children in a church nursery. I currently work at a daycare, where I care for and interact with children regularly. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and comfortable environment for kids. I understand that every child is different, and I’m always willing to learn their individual needs and routines.
