Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you serve? I provide in-home babysitting in Rolla, MO, and the surrounding Phelps County area.
What ages do you care for? I'm happy to care for infants through school-age children. If you have a specific age or situation you'd like to discuss, just reach out, and we can talk through it.
Do you take last-minute bookings? Yes, same-day and last-minute requests are exactly what Night Out Nanny is built for, whether it's a daycare closure, a canceled sitter, or a spontaneous night out. I'll always do my best to accommodate short notice, though availability can vary.
How far in advance should I book? For recurring date nights or planned appointments, booking in advance helps guarantee availability. For emergencies or last-minute needs, reach out as soon as you know. I'll let you know right away if I can help.
How long can you watch my kids? Anywhere from a couple of hours to a full day. Whether it's a quick appointment or a longer stretch of coverage, just let me know your timeframe, and I'll do my best to accommodate.
Do you offer overnight care? This can be discussed on a case-by-case basis depending on your family's needs. Reach out, and we can talk through what would work best.
What's your experience with children? I'm currently pursuing a degree in early childhood education and have a genuine love for working with kids. Caring for children isn't just something I do; it's the career I'm building.
How do I book or reach you? You can contact me directly through the site's contact form. Established clients can contact me by phone/text to check availability and set up a booking.
What's included in a typical sitting session? I focus on keeping kids safe, engaged, and comfortable, and following your household routines for meals, screen time, and bedtime so things feel normal while you're away.
How much do you charge? $20/hour for the first child, plus $5/hour for each additional child. Flat-rate pricing is available for full-day sessions. Reach out for current full-day rates.
How do I pay? Payment is accepted via cash, check, or Venmo and must be paid on the day of service.
How do I get started? Use the contact form to reach out. I'll follow up by phone to set up a complimentary meet-and-greet with you and your child(ren). This gives us a chance to get acquainted and make sure we're a great fit for one another before booking your first session.
What other information do you need from me? At our initial meet & greet, I’ll provide a short intake form where you can share important information about your child, including their needs and routines, allergies, emergency contacts, and anything else that will help me provide safe, comfortable care.
You’re also welcome to complete the form ahead of time by clicking the Childcare Intake Form button at the bottom of this website. We can review everything together when we meet and discuss any questions or special instructions.
