Find a Trusted Nanny in Phoenix

Why Phoenix Families Choose Beverly

The Phoenix metropolitan area, known locally as the Valley of the Sun, is one of the largest and fastest-growing metro areas in the country. With temperatures regularly exceeding 110 degrees in summer, the practical demands on a Phoenix nanny differ significantly from other cities. Parents need caregivers who can keep children safe and engaged during extreme heat, plan morning outdoor activities before the temperature peaks, and create stimulating indoor routines for long summer afternoons. Pool safety is a non-negotiable for most Valley families, as backyard pools are common in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and throughout the metro area.

Beverly coordinates your nanny search across the entire Valley, from Scottsdale and Paradise Valley to Chandler, Gilbert, and Tempe. We contact local agencies, post to major platforms, and activate referral networks through schools, churches, and community groups. Every candidate goes through a consistent process: Arizona DPS background check, reference verification, structured interview, and driving record review. We also screen for pool safety awareness and heat-management competency specific to the Phoenix climate.

The Valley's geographic spread means that commute distance matters. A nanny living in Mesa may not be willing to drive to North Scottsdale every day. Beverly takes commute logistics into account when building your candidate shortlist, ensuring that the nannies we present are realistic matches for your specific location and daily routine.

Arizona Employment Law for Nannies

Arizona has a higher-than-federal minimum wage and straightforward employment requirements. For a full tax overview, visit our nanny tax guide.

Minimum Wage

Arizona's minimum wage is $15.15 per hour, significantly higher than the federal minimum of $7.25. This rate adjusts annually based on inflation. All household employers must pay at least this amount.

Overtime

Arizona follows federal FLSA overtime rules. Nannies are entitled to 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Arizona does not have daily overtime requirements.

Paid Time Off & Benefits

Arizona's Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act requires all employers, including households, to provide paid sick time. Employers with fewer than 15 employees must provide up to 24 hours of paid sick time per year. Competitive Phoenix families typically also offer 5-10 paid vacation days and paid federal holidays.

Taxes & Workers' Compensation

Arizona requires state income tax withholding for household employees. Federal FICA taxes apply if you pay $3,000+ annually. Arizona requires workers' compensation insurance for all employees, including household workers. Beverly connects you with payroll providers who manage Arizona and federal compliance.

Babysitter Services in Phoenix

Looking for a babysitter in Phoenix instead of a full-time nanny? Beverly helps with that too. Whether you need occasional date-night coverage or a regular part-time sitter, our screening and coordination services ensure you find trustworthy care.

Babysitters in Phoenix typically charge $18-$28 per hour in 2026, depending on experience, number of children, and timing. Weekend and evening rates tend to be at the upper end of this range. For comparison, a full-time nanny in Phoenix costs $18-$32 per hour — the higher commitment reflecting the consistent schedule and expanded duties.

Even for occasional babysitting, Beverly recommends running a background check. Our platform makes it easy to screen sitters with the same rigor you'd apply to a full-time nanny. Learn more about the key differences between nannies and babysitters to decide which arrangement fits your family.
