Fri, 27 Feb 2015Could entrepreneurial Manhattan schoolgirl Noa Mintz possibly be the youngest successful recruiter?
Aged just 15, Mintz has a successful babysitting agency that, according to the Huffington Post, makes her worth US$375k (£243k).
She set up Nannies by Noa, a service that matches families to 50 babysitters and 25 full-time nannies, when she was just 12. The agency now has 190 clients.
According to media reports, she had always found flaws with her own babysitters and thought there must be a better way to pair families with child minders. Initially, she did so for her own family and then families of her parents’ friends.
She began recruiting from her own social circle but has extended that through networking and recruiting from local colleges. She has also hired a chief executive to give her more time to focus on her studies.
She charges $50-100 per match and takes 15% of each full timer’s annual salary, which can range from $50k-80k. The New York Post reports that all recruits go through screening processes such as interviews with ‘probing questions, rigorous social media screening and background checks’.
Mintz was quoted in the New York Post as saying she focuses on “engaged nannies who don’t sit on the side at the playgrounds on their phones”.
