Trusted care for the in-between moments.
Need childcare without hiring a regular nanny? We connect families with vetted sitters for date nights, backup care, and occasional or recurring help.
How it works

We check availability within our sitter network and match you with a sitter based on your family’s needs. You can ask for a sitter you have worked with before.

Once we have secured a sitter, we send their information and booking details. The agency booking fee is due at confirmation: $35 for one day, $50 total for two days, or $75 total for three days.

- Scheduled wages become non-refundable within 24 hours of the start time. If you no longer need care during this period, the sitter is still paid for the hours reserved.
- Payment deadline
- If wages are not received 24 hours before care begins, Muslim Nannies may cancel the booking and release the sitter.
- If your sitter becomes unavailable
- We will make reasonable efforts to find a replacement at no additional booking fee. If we cannot, any prepaid wages for that booking are refunded.
Our sitters
Muslim Nannies sitters are screened and prepared to provide professional, attentive childcare that respects each household’s practices, values, and preferences.
-
Background screening
Every caregiver completes a background check before working with families.
-
Reference checks
We speak with people who have seen their care firsthand.

Orientation & training
Caregivers complete Muslim Nannies orientation and training before their first booking.
Sitter service or nanny placement?
Our sitter service is best for occasional, weekend, backup, or short-term care when you do not need the same caregiver every week. If your family needs a consistent nanny on an ongoing weekly schedule, nanny placement may be a better fit.
