Find an experienced nanny in Virginia Beach, VA

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

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 Virginia Beach?

It's easy to find a nanny in Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach?

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 Virginia Beach?

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 Virginia Beach?

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 Virginia Beach?

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 Kymira, and I am a dependable, caring, and responsible babysitter who truly enjoys working with children. While I am beginning my professional babysitting journey, I have years of hands-on experience helping care for my nieces and nephews. Through that experience, I have learned how to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children of different ages. I understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and reliable, and I strive to make both children and parents feel comfortable and confident while they are in my care. Whether it’s engaging kids in fun activities, helping with meals, keeping up with routines, or simply providing a positive and nurturing atmosphere, I am committed to giving every family my very best. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your children and becoming someone your family can trust and rely on.

I'm a mother of 3 (all adults), Gigi of 1. I am a part-time caregiver of my disabled sister. I'm also a Realtor. I'm looking for another stream of revenue to supplement my income and desire to do something along the lines of what I'm passionate about. My passion is people, especially children. My expertise is families with special needs as I have an adult son on the spectrum and my sister whom I have cared for all my life. It takes special people to work with special people and God has given me that gift. I also treat everyone like my family.
