  • For all assignments, a booking fee/deposit will be paid to Munchkin Minders at the time of booking. This fee is payable by credit card.
  • For on-call assignments, 24 hours notice is required to cancel once a sitter has been assigned. If required notice is not given, client will be charged a $20 cancellation fee ($40 on holidays). Notice of cancellations made in 3 hours or less, will be charged the full four hours, including booking fees.

  • For all holidays except New Year’s Eve, holiday rates are calculated at 1.5 x our normal rates, and will apply to the following dates:
    New Year’s Eve (after 5pm), New Year’s Day, Valentine’s Day (after 5pm), Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
    Rates for New Years Eve (after 5pm) will be $21/hour for 1 child, and $3 more for each additional sibling.
    The purpose of the rate increase on holidays is to encourage availability on days when most sitters will have alternate plans.

TESTIMONIAL:

”Finding a nanny is no joke, and Munchkin Minders made a very scary, daunting process a bit easier. I initially started my search on Care.com, and let me tell you, save yourself a ton of time and stress and let a professional do the vetting for you! A bit of an investment, but worth every penny!"
