Noa Mintz is an entrepreneur that started her company Nannies by Noa at the very young age of 12. Nannies by Noa is a company that connected parents in New York with the most fun and entertaining babysitters around. Noa founded this concept off the idea of finding a sitter that she would enjoy having in her own home. Coupling this desire for a good babysitter and her natural matchmaking talent, Noa has transformed her idea into a thriving business. Noa was named one of Fortune’s “18 Under 18 Innovators Who Are Changing the World,” as well as have been on multiple television programs for her idea. Some of these have been NBC’s “Today Show” as well as CNBC’s “Squawk Box”.
Noa has taken her childish want for a fun and cool baby sitter and has turned herself into one of the top young entrepreneurs in the country. This shows that no matter how simple or childish an idea may be it is worth chasing. The childish idea of wanting a fun and entertaining babysitter may have seemed as something “silly” or “unimportant” but Noa realized that parents want their kids to have fun and capitalized on this concept. Realizing that parents will pay for the best for their kids, Noa is now able to make a revenue by being a matchmaker between parents and the best babysitters in their area.
This is great! I wish Noa had been around when my parents were picking out babysitters for myself and my three sisters as well as when I was always looking for an opportunity to go and babysit some kiddos on the weekends. I think this has great potential to continue to grow and I can see the desire for parents to also want to know their kids are not only in good hands but are also having fun!
I think this is a really great idea! It makes it easier for parents and nannies to connect and to build the trust between them. I will be excited to see how much this company grows. Great post!
Noa was able to use a simple idea from her childhood and create it into a business that many people benefit from. Every parent would agree that it is import to have a babysitter that is fun and going to help their children grow. Good inspiration story for young people to hear.
Where was this ten years ago when I needed a babysitter? I could so see parents using this across the nation because like the blog post said parents only want the best for children and this seems to be providing the best.
What a neat concept! Young parents I know nowadays have a hard time leaving their children with just anybody. This service provides some peace of mind knowing you child will have an enjoyable time and of course is in good hands.
