Babysitter ranking with HowsMyNanny.com


Thinking about getting a nanny cam? Why not try HowsMyNanny.com first. HowsMyNanny allows subscribers to get a unique license plate plaque that bolts on to strollers. Passersby can then report good or bad nanny behavior to the website, and parents will receive an email alert notification via email.

This unique service was started by a New York prosecutor, and parent. HowsMyNanny has the main goal of notifying parents and communicating potential problems when their children are being neglected by their care givers. Parents want to know when nannies are talking on cell phones for long hours, shopping for hours on end, physically abusing a child, or even showering children with love, affection, and patience. Parents joining HowsMyNanny.com have many different membership options ranging from $50.00 for one year, up to $36.50 for a five year membership. Users can also receive a free year of membership by referring the service to a friend.
