Sometimes finding the right person to take care of your kids can be a real struggle. Finding someone that you can fully trust can be an even bigger challenge. That is why Noa Mintz, a young entrepreneur created her business called “Nannies by Noa.” Her business sets up families in New York City with a perfectly matched nanny, depending on that families personal, unique requirements. Each nanny must go through a variety of screenings and background checks before becoming a nanny through this business and even then, their acceptance rates remain low. What is unique about Noa is she came up with this idea because she thought she could benefit from it. She created this business because she knows first hand how important it is to have a fun, caring, entertaining nanny and she wanted that for others kids her age as well. What makes her idea so great is that there is a real need for well trained nannies that families can trust leaving their kids with; this business fulfills that need. Families can quickly and easily match up their kids with the perfect nanny and not have to worriy about who is taking care of them. Nannies by Noa is always updating the guidelines nannies must follow and is constantly checking that the nannies are up to their standards. This allows them to stay ahead of the competition and is why it has become such a successful business.
Seeing Noa’s idea and how she started up her business inspires me because it shows that you are never to young to start up a business. She was just starting middle school when she came up with the idea and her business only grew from there. Being in college I often find myself thinking I’m to busy or don’t have time to follow up an idea but seeing her do it at such a young age has inspired me to start trying to follow up on my ideas because who knows where it could go from there. Something I learned from Noa’s story is that if it’s a problem i’m having, other people probably have that same problem. That is how Noa came up with her idea and that’s a good place to start when I’m brainstorming ideas.
This was such a great idea. Nannies by Noa helps not only parents who are desperate to find a trustworthy and quality nanny, but also children Noa’s age who want someone that they can enjoy as a friend and mentor. Not quite as good as Mary Poppins, but close.
