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.

Hi ! My name is Cora and I’ve worked in childcare for more than 4 years. I’ve worked in a pediatric dental office for 3 years, a daycare for 2, and personal babysitter for a number of family members. I love kids and enjoy being in their company. I am to have my own soon! I love the outdoors, the beach, playtime and enjoy cooking. Little ones bring me joy and I’m lucky enough to have had people trust me and be the first choice for their babies. I’ve watched kids from newborn babies all the way up to 10 year olds.

Hello! I am Danyelle! I am originally from Saratoga Springs, New York and moved to VA in April! I absolutely love VA, but I miss having families to help out. I have worked with children of all ages since I was 16 years old. I started at my local YMCA and worked my way to obtaining a masters degree in education. I have nannied before many times and I find myself loving to learn about children's development and how their brain works. I've worked with autistic preschoolers, emotional/behavioral/ trauma foster care children, and children with learning disabilities. I offer extreme empathy and passion and I hope to help out people who need someone with skills like mine! Thank you!
