On-Demand Babysitter
Already matched, already familiar. Your babysitter is ready when you need them - whatever the reason.
An on-demand babysitter through Nanny.nu means you already have a matched candidate who knows your family - ready to book when you need them. Whether it's a wedding, a work trip, or a spontaneous evening, you book through your matching room without a new search.
Life doesn't follow a schedule
A colleague's farewell dinner appears in your calendar on Thursday morning - for Saturday evening. A conference trip gets confirmed with a week's notice. Friends invite you to something spontaneous. Or you simply wake up on a Sunday and realize you both need a few hours.
The need for childcare doesn't always come with advance notice. But finding a babysitter at short notice usually means compromise - someone you've never met, someone your child doesn't know, someone you have to brief from scratch.
On-demand care from Nanny.nu works differently. Because you already have a matched candidate, booking is simple. Your babysitter knows your family, your routines, and your children. One message through your matching room is all it takes.
How on-demand matching works
The matching process is the same as for recurring care. Your advisor selects a candidate based on your family's needs, you meet in person, and the relationship begins. The difference is in how you use it.
Instead of a fixed weekly schedule, you book as needed. Your Time Bank hours are flexible - use two hours this week, six the next, none the week after. The candidate is available because they've committed to your family through the matching, not because you're competing for slots on a marketplace.
When your regular candidate isn't available
Life happens on both sides. If your matched babysitter can't make a specific date, your advisor steps in. They identify a vetted substitute from the network - someone whose profile matches your family's needs and who has been through the same screening process.
You're never left without options. And the substitute receives all relevant information from your matching room, so they arrive informed rather than starting from zero.
Common on-demand situations
Wedding childcare is one of the most popular use cases. Your babysitter can accompany your family to the venue or stay at home - whatever works for the day. Work travel for one or both parents is another common scenario, where the babysitter covers mornings, evenings, or full days as needed.
Date nights, medical appointments, moving day, home renovations - the reasons are endless. The point is that you have someone ready, rather than scrambling every time.
