In 2012, 15 year old Noa Mintz started her own nanny agency, in hopes of providing quality care and babysitting services not only for her family, but for practically everyone living in Manhattan. Ironically enough, the young mogul’s business aspirations came about because of her own criticisms of the family babysitter. Noa’s mother essentially told her, “Well why don’t you find a better babysitter for the family.” Mintz accomplished that task, and passed with flying colors. After achieving such success in finding a caregiver, Noa thought she could find her friends better babysitters too. This evolution and blossoming of her business lead to a need to hire a full time manager so that Noa could focus on her high school studies.
This business venture is not only extremely practical (as most people have needed a babysitter at some point or another), but it also shows that sometimes innovation can be solving a common problem. Noa Mintz didn’t create some marvelous invention that is being marketed around the world; she simply saw a need, and met it. This forward approach will continue to create growth, and should lead to exponential success. Noa’s business is really good at what it does, and this superior quality is something that many experienced entrepreneurs can’t even achieve. Basically, Noa nailed the whole “nannying” concept.

I feel that the best business ventures are those that come from a need in one’s daily life. Noa needed a better babysitter and made a business out of it. Anyone can be an entrepreneur if they have the mindset and heart to do so.
