Most kids growing up usually have memorable experiences with a babysitter. Some experiences are good and some maybe not, but while growing up Noa Mintz had very dull experiences with her babysitters. Her memories consisted of babysitters who would rather text others than engage with Noa and her siblings. While this would be acceptable for most kids, Noa decided to take action. Noa began a search for a new babysitter spanning across New York City. After finding a babysitter that she was content with, Noa decided to turn her search into her own business.
Noa found a possible area of pain for many kids and addressed it, thus creating Nannies by Noa. Nannies by Noa is a service in New York City and the Hamptons that pair babysitters up with families who are looking for a babysitter or are not satisfied with their current babysitter. This process includes various screenings and background checks for the applicants.
Nannies by Noa is raking in about $300,000 of revenue per year as Noa has taken a step back in the day to day business decisions of the company as she hired an older manager. Noa made this decision because she is still only 16 years old and attends high school. Noa created this very successful business just by coming to the conclusion that most kids probably have the same problems and needs that she did. While addressing this problem from a caring perspective, Noa made herself one of the most successful young entrepreneurs.
I love how as a young girl, Noa saw a problem and decided to do something about it. She was able to see a need across her whole city and create a solution to it.
This is such a great idea!
I would love to see how this business could work in a place like Grove City. Since we live in such a small town, we had a lot of family friends acting as babysitters, I wonder if Nannies by Noa could find a way to work with small towns and give them the same opportunities?
Honestly, Noa found a huge problem that could be addressed almost everywhere. It’s kinda embarrassing that a young girl started this business before any actual businessmen, but also kinda awesome.
